  • Many individuals with OCD do not sufficiently benefit from first-line treatment with serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
  • A broad range of pharmacotherapies have been explored as adjunctive or alternative interventions for treatment-resistant OCD.
  • Glutamatergic and anti-inflammatory interventions, among others, may offer favorable benefit to risk profiles.
  • Dopamine antagonist treatments remain the best evidenced augmentation strategy for treatment-resistant OCD.
