description INTRODUCTION: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD) is a neurotic disorder characterized by recurring, intrusive, anxiety-provoking thoughts or images (obsessions) associated with repetitive, physical or mental rituals (compulsions) aimed at relieving anxiety. Its been found to be linked to poorer adaptive functioning and a poorer response to treatment. Despite recognition that adaptive functioning may be poor in significant proportion of patients,relationship between symptom severity and functioning is not well studied. AIM: To find correlation between symptom severity and global assessment of functioning. METHOD AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, single point assessment study, including 78 patients aged 18 to 60 years, visiting outdoor department of Era's Lucknow Medical College. Cases having OCD according to ICD 10 criteria were included in the study. Those patients were excluded who were having some other psychiatric illness prior to the onset of obsessive compulsive disorder, patients diagnosed with medical and surgical illness requiring immediate intervention, those diagnosed with mental retardation and those not willing to give informed consent. YBOCS was applied to assess symptom severity while GAF was used to assess functioning in these patients. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: We found that symptom severity correlated with the global assessment of functioning. As severity increased it was seen that functioning of patients decline. Statistical data will be presented during the conference.
