“…[ 77 ] Considering the association between rheumatic fever and OCD, and possible long term neuropsychiatric sequelae in those with history of rheumatic fever because of possible autoimmune insult to basal ganglia, a study recently examined the prevalence of OCD in adults with Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD). [ 78 ] Of the 100 subjects with RHD, 10 had clinical OCD. This rate is at least five-fold higher than the reported global general population rate of OCD[ 5 ] and over 15-fold higher than the 0.6% rate of OCD in India.…”

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was considered a relatively rare disorder until about two decades ago. Since then, considerable advance has been made in understanding the various aspects of OCD that include epidemiology, clinical features, comorbidity, biology and treatment. In the last one decade, there has also been interest in a group of related disorders called obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. There is substantial research from India on various aspects of OCD, particularly from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore. We attempt to review all the relevant Indian data on OCD.
