Furthermore, an open-label clinical study was conducted with memantine, showing its positive effects on OCD symptoms.9 Our patient, “Mr. N,” was a 23-year-old university student who was referred to us because of SRI-resistant OCD. Severe OCD and BDD were diagnosed at initial examination, with a YBOCS score 26 and initial YBOCS-BDD score of 30. Mr. N spent about 6 hours/day in obsessions and compulsive ritualistic behavior. The rituals included “ritual for ears,” which consisted of checking his ears on a bathroom mirror three times in a row. Before going to sleep, he checked his face twice in the mirror, then went twice to the bathroom and once outside to the street. If somebody interrupted him during a meal, he had to go to check his appearance in the bathroom mirror.
