Resumo
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is character-ized by recurrent and persistent thoughts (obsessions), and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions)1. The exact cause of OCD is still unknown1. Evidence from familial, twin and segregation studies supports the role of a genetic component in the etiology of OCD1. But comorbidity2 is also important in this disorder and sometimes it goes unnoticed3. We present a case in which a patient is referred to our mental health service with the suspicion of a somatoform disorder complicated with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, also with high familial aggregation.
