Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the major disabling disorder affecting about 2% of the population, and it causes significant mental health costs. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the changes in serum levels of oxidative stress and the role of oxidative stress biomarkers in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
A cross-sectional controlled study was carried out in Salah Al-din City from 1st of February 2019, to 1st of June, 2019. The number of obsessive compulsive disorder 60 patients whose ages between 18–68 years old. These patients admitted to psychiatric unit at Salah Al-din Teaching Hospital. The control group who were match to the patients studied include 30 healthy control.
The study showed that there is the significant difference between serum level of patients and the control groups. In this study showed that is high level of malondialdehyde (MDA), in patients in compare with control group and lower levels of antioxidant enzymes (GSH-PX, SOD1, CAT) of patients in compare with control group.
We can use serum level of some biochemical markers in compare between patients, and control with OCD. The relationship inverse between MDA and GSH-PX, SOD1, CAT, in patients and control groups.
