Healio (2/3, Gramigna) reports, “Several traits related to obsessive-compulsive personality disorder [OCPD] predicted post-pandemic adjustment difficulties,” investigators concluded after conducting “a survey of 438 adults from the general population during a temporary easing of lockdown in the U.K. between July 2020 and November 2020, which showed 25% of participants experienced readjustment difficulties.” The study revealed that people “with a history of mental disorder and obsessive-compulsive traits and symptoms, including rigidity determined via a neurocognitive test of attentional flexibility, had significant difficulties.” The findings were published online ahead of print in the April issue of the Journal of Psychiatric Research.
