To conclude, large‐scale data‐sharing as facilitated by ENIGMA‐OCD has accelerated discovery and generated novel hypotheses that are now being pursued. It has also created a model for large‐scale global collaboration across OCD experts, and even more broadly, across working groups focused on a range of disorders and methodologies. By joining forces, we can help to shift the research model from local and mono‐disciplinary to global and multidisciplinary, increase rigor and transparency, and accelerate discovery. In the end, we share a common goal: To develop a circuit‐based approach to different cognitive and clinical dimensions of OCD that can help transform how OCD and related mental disorders are conceptualized, diagnosed, and ultimately treated around the world.
