BACKGROUND: Limited studies are available that investigate the reactions to COVID-19 pandemic by people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Due to the nature of the pandemic and the heightened focus on contamination, cleaning, and social distancing, it is likely that a deterioration of OCD symptoms and severity will be seen.
AIMS: Our aims were to evaluate (1) self-reported changes in OCD symptom severity of adults with OCD during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, (2) whether the COVID-19 pandemic would trigger self-reported contamination symptoms in persons with no history of such symptoms, (3) self-reported variables associated with OCD symptom severity change, and 4) self-reported changes in quality of life.
METHOD: A 47-item self-report questionnaire was sent to all members of the Danish OCD Association and the final sample comprised 201 adult participants. The association of OCD severity change with demographic and clinical variables was analyzed using linear regression.
RESULTS: 61.2% of participants reported an increase in OCD severity, based on the retrospective self-report. Female gender, self-reported contamination symptoms, and self-reported psychiatric comorbidity were found to have a significant association with increasing OCD severity. Five participants reported the emergence of contamination symptoms and two of harm related symptoms. Thirty participants reported a severe reduction in quality of life (≥80).
CONCLUSIONS: A large group of people suffering from OCD may require special attention and care during a pandemic like COVID-19 in order to lessen the deterioration of OCD symptoms and also to minimize the reduction in quality of life evident in this group.
