What share of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder also meet criteria for major depressive disorder?

A41 percent
B11 percent
C71 percent
D91 percent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 41 percent
1. The manual quantifies how often two particular diagnoses coincide. 2. It mentions that 41 percent of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder also meet the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder. 3. That is a substantial minority rather than a rare coincidence. 4. Such overlap is what makes comorbidity a practical concern in diagnosis. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 15 'Psychological Disorders', sections 15.1-15.11_
