Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating psycho- logical condition often results in significant functional impairment and a poor quality of life. Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder where people feel the need to check things repeatedly, perform certain routines repeatedly (called "rituals"), or have certain thoughts repeatedly. People are unable to control either the thoughts or the activities for more than a short period of time These activities occur to such a degree that the person's daily life is negatively affected. OCD is a patient life burden and not all OCD patients seek medical help as they prefer to endorse with their symptoms and compulsions and that hinder help so one of the most characteristic presentations of OCD patients is presence of another psychiatric comorbidity. Many studies were made to find different comorbidities and the higher-ranking comorbidities were anxiety, depression, tic and neurodevelopmental disorders and finally personality disorder. Ideally, an attempt at sub classifying OCD based on comorbidity would include both the number and kind of comorbid disorders. Reasoning along these lines, identified and characterized comorbidity-based subgroups in a sample of OCD patients with a positive family history of OCD, considering eight comorbid disorders.
