Treatment-resistant OCD is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder where individuals do not respond adequately to standard treatments. Despite earnest efforts, the persistence of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can significantly impact one's quality of life.

Recent statistical findings reveal that around 40% of individuals grappling with OCD may encounter treatment resistance. This means they do not respond to conventional or second-line augmentation treatments.
