Background: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic and disabling condition that negatively affects quality of life (QoL) of patients with this disorder attributable to socio­demographic, clinical and illness­specific factors. Aim and Objectives: To study correlation between phenomenology and socio demographic variable and to assess QOL and its correlation with phenomenology of OCD. Place of Study: The study was conducted at Department of Psychiatry, JLN Medical College, Ajmer (Raj). Study Design: It was a cross sectional hospital based analytical study. Observation and Discussion: Male gender, lower education and unemployment were significantly associated with OCD and scores related to physical, psychological, social and environmental domains of WHOQOL BREF were significantly lower in OCD. All grades of satisfaction levels differ significantly between sub­items of 4 domains of QoL of OCD. Conclusion: The preliminary results of this study are partially comparable to international data on QoL of patients with OCD and call for a research with a larger sample in community setting.
