AbstractDespite the promising capacity of large language model (LLM)-powered chatbots to diagnose diseases, they have not been tested for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of LLMs in OCD using vignettes and found that LLMs outperformed medical and mental health professionals. This highlights the potential benefit of LLMs in assisting in the timely and accurate diagnosis of OCD, which usually entails a long delay in diagnosis and treatment.
