Dr. Sandeep Govil | |
Background: Up until roughly 20 years ago, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was thought to be a rather uncommon condition. The present study was conducted to assess cases of obsessive-compulsive disorders. Materials & Methods: 70 patients of obsessive-compulsive disorders of both genders were selected. A DSM-5 diagnosis of OCD was confirmed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5-Research Version (SCID-5-RV). Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale was recorded. Results: Out of 70 patients, 38 were males and 32 were females. The common symptoms were checking in 35, symmetry in 29, harming others in 13, contamination in 16, cognitive in 12, cleaning in 5 and hoarding in 8 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Duration of illness in patients was 4.6 years, duration of treatment was 1.9 years and positive family history was seen in 45 patients. The mean YBOCS total score was 16.2, YBOCS obsessions score was 8.3 and YBOCS compulsions score was 8.5. Conclusion: Common symptoms in OCD patients were contamination, symmetry, hoarding, cognition, cleaning, and checking, as well as harming other people. |
