Synthetic cathinone-induced obsessive-compulsive or related transtorno is characterised by either repetitive intrusive thoughts or preoccupations, normally associated com anxiety and typically accompanied by repetitive behaviours performed in response, or by recurrent and habitual actions directed at the integument (e.g., hair pulling, skin picking) that develop during or soon after intoxicação com or abstinência from synthetic cathinones. The intensity or duration of the symptoms is substantially in excess of analogous disturbances that are characteristic of Synthetic cathinone intoxicação or Synthetic cathinone abstinência. The amount and duration of synthetic cathinone uso must be capable of producing obsessive-compulsive or related symptoms. The symptoms are not better explained by a primary mental transtorno (in particular an Obsessive-compulsive or related transtorno), as might be the case if the symptoms preceded the onset of the synthetic cathinone uso, if the symptoms persist for a substantial period of time after cessation of the synthetic cathinone uso or abstinência, or if there is other evidence of a pre-existing primary mental transtorno com obsessive-compulsive or related symptoms (e.g., a history of prior episodes not associated com synthetic cathinone uso).
