In the present study we investigated OCD patients from Urban, Semi- rural and rural population in the state of West Bengal, India. Patients were evaluated for severity of OCD using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and Socio-Economic status using standard Indian scale. No positive correlation was found between the socio-economic status and severity of OCD.
