Labour market marginalisation in obsessive-compulsive disorder: a nationwide register-based sibling control study.
The impact of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) on objective indicators of labour market marginalisation has not been quantified. ⋯ Help-seeking individuals with OCD diagnosed in specialist care experience marked difficulties to participate in the labour market. The findings emphasise the need for cooperation between policy-makers, vocational rehabilitation and mental health services in order to design and implement specific strategies aimed at improving the patients' participation in the labour market.
