In Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) a wide range of symptoms are seen, along with different responses to treatment, this has pointed to the direction that OCD is more heterogeneous than thought before and clinically different subtypes of OCD exist. This article presents a wide variety of symptoms dimension seen in OCD with many pioneering and important work done in this area. The different clinical presentations of patients with OCD have also been seen.
