Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms as a Manifestation of Homocystinuria

We describe the case of a 39 years old man, diagnosed with homocystinuria in childhood, with no previous psychiatric history that presented obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) like symptoms, as a manifestation of homocystinuria. This case underlines the importance for a psychiatrist to explore medical nonpsychiatric history, especially when presentation is abrupt, atypical, or in treatment-resistant cases.PMID:33824770 | PMC:PMC8007370 | DOI:10.1155/2021/5523453
