The esTOCma app was developed to fight against the stigma associated with mental illness in general, and OC spectrum disorders in particular, by disseminating current knowledge and the possibilities for effective treatment and recovery from these disorders. https://estocma.blogs.uv.es/
To examine transcultural variants of IMD (for its Spanish acronym, Unpleasant Mental Intrusions) with obsessive, dysmorphic, hypochondriacal and alimentary content.
Design and validate new models of CBT dispensing for OC spectrum disorders, specifically Virtual Reality and mobile applications (App) to facilitate CBT dispensing and dissemination.
Comparative validity of the several proposals on the disorders to be included in the obsessive-compulsive spectrum.
Analyse whether the different symptomatic manifestations of OCD are:

To find out which variables of factors operate transdiagnostically in the various dimensions and/or subtypes of OCD and in other disorcers of the emotional spectrum (anxiety and mood disorders). Specifically, we focus the study on unpleasant mental intrusions (IMD for its Spanish acronym).
