Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim of study was to evaluate sexual function in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) patients with and without depressive symptoms. DESIGN AND METHOD: Fifty-six married OCD patients referred to the outpatient clinic of Roozbeh Hospital from 2011 to 2013 filled out the demographic questionnaire, obsessive compulsive inventory—revised OCI-R, Maudsley obsessional—compulsive inventory (MOCI), Beck depression inventory-II (BDI-II), international index of erectile function (IIEF), and female sexual function index (FSFI). FINDINGS: In total, 80.6% of women and 25% of men had sexual dysfunction and 82% of them had depressive symptoms. Comparing sexual dysfunction in OCD patients with and without depressive symptoms demonstrated that the mean index of IIEF in subscales of erection and satisfaction without depressive symptoms (BDI-II index ≤ 15) is higher than in those with depressive symptoms and the mean index of FSFI showed a marginal significance in the pain subscale of the FSFI. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Regarding the possible role of the symptoms of depression on sexual function, sexual assessment in OCD patients should be considered. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
