Background: OCD is a long-term mental health condition characterized by persistent intrusive thoughts and/or repetitive compulsive activities. OCD symptoms that are either compulsive or obsessive, or both, are what define subclinical OCD (SOCD). The presentstudy was conducted to assess cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Materials & Methods: 76 cases of OCD were confirmed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5-Research Version (SCID-5-RV). Parameters such as illness duration, past, etc. were recorded. Results: Out of 76 patients, males were 30 and females were 46. The age of onset <5 years was present in 22, 5-10 years in 28, and >10 years in 26. The duration of illness was 2.7 years, and the duration of treatment was 1.4 years. Conclusion: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a long-term mental illness. Compared to females, males were more impacted.
