Empirical literature regarding earworms is scant; however, some researchers have conceptualized the phenomenon as an unwanted intrusion in the context of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The current study expands upon past research by characterizing the experience of earworms and examining associations of earworm-related distress and interference with theoretical constructs of interest, including obsessive beliefs and experiential avoidance. Two hundred forty participants completed an online survey regarding the experience of musical obsessions (e.g., duration, frequency, distress) and related theoretical constructs (e.g., experiential avoidance) of interest. Descriptive results regarding the frequency, duration, and associated distress and interference of earworms are presented. Furthermore, results reveal that experiential avoidance is a unique predictor of earworm-related distress and interference. Results suggest that interference and distress due to earworms may be related to attempts to suppress them.

The purpose of the study is to extend previous research, which primarily used outpatient samples, to determine whether depression affects OCD treatment outcome among patients receiving intensive residential treatment. OCD patients receiving residential treatment based primarily on exposure and response prevention (ERP) provided data regarding symptoms of depression and OCD at admission and discharge. Patients reported large and significant reductions in OCD symptoms over the course of treatment. Change in OCD symptoms was not significantly affected by depressive symptoms, including patients with severe depressive symptoms. Change in depressive symptoms over the course of treatment was, however, robustly related to change in OCD symptoms, especially among patients who began treatment with severe symptoms of depression.

The authors conducted a systematic review of the literature on LPA interventions in any population in order to determine (a) the extent to which mental health outcomes were examined and (b) whether benefits in mental health outcomes were observed. Mental health outcomes were defined as depression, anxiety, perceived stress, health-related quality of life, and psychological well-being. A total of 73 articles were identified as LPA intervention, of which 24.7% (n = 18) reported the effect of LPA intervention on mental health outcomes. The most commonly evaluated mental health outcome was depression, and to a lesser extent anxiety and perceived stress. Overall, findings point to promising effects of LPA interventions across common mental health problems.
