Sir,Shared or induced obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a relatively new concept as compared to the well-established concept of shared or induced delusional disorder (folie à deux) and has recently got a mention in literature.[12345] It has been proposed to be a continuum between delusional disorder and OCD.[4]In shared OCD, the secondary case is usually a dependent submissive person in the family and imbibes the illness from the dominant primary case. Literature has described ritualization a form of coping[5] by family members of OCDpatient.[4] The present case describes induced OCD with regard to psychopathology and progression of disease in a married couple, who presented to a psychiatric clinic in a rural secondary care center and also intends to critically review the available literature.Mrs. A, 24-year-old married female (index/secondary case), 10th passed, presented with 1½-year duration of illness with complaints of repetitive doubts regarding religious vows and associated reassurance seeking and repetitive thoughts of “lucky/unlucky numbers” with associated rituals. She would spend 4–5 hrs/day in performing these rituals leading to significant sociooccupational dysfunction. There was no history of any other obsessive phenomenon or other psychiatric illnesses and her premorbid personality was well-adjusted.Her husband was also a diagnosed case of OCD with an illness of 12-years duration. His symptomatology was similar to that of his wife, and in fact, he had revealed his symptoms to wife 3–4 months before the onset of her illness although he was not the dominant person in the family.The mental status examination of index patient revealed an anxious affect, possession of thought was similar to that described earlier in the history, and she had good insight.The husband first sought treatment and responded well. The patient was started on medications, as separation was not feasible, to which she responded well. They took treatment for 4–5 months after which the husband discontinued treatment followed, a month later, by the wife. The husband's symptoms worsened after discontinuation of treatment so was wife's, though, reinstatement of treatment led to improvement in both.The present case adds to the limited literature available on shared/induced OCD. The patient seems to have a “shared” OCD with her husband indicated by couple's close relationship, the onset of illness in the patient following the revelation of symptoms by husband, and the temporal courses of the illness in the two cases. Environmental factors seem to play role in psychopathology in shared OCD; with one proposed mechanism being learned phenomena.[4] However, there are some indicators pointing toward the independent progression of the disorder in the patient, for example, lack of evident dominant–submissive relationship, no accommodative behavior of wife, and the possible independent role of medications. In the line with previous study,[2] we suggest that possibility of shared OCD should be considered in close family members with similar symptomology as it has treatment implications. However, this phenomenology warrants further research. This report also highlights that dominance-submission is not a sine qua non for the occurrence of this disorder and when separation of these cases are not feasible, pharmacotherapy is an effective alternative.
