Objective: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is cha racterized by recurrent intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors or mental acts compulsions. Previous studies obviously indicate that OCD patients have several impairments in memory and other neurocognitive functions. Our primary aim is to assess the cognitive impairment in OCD patients through Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) which is widely used in Alzheimer's Dementia. Method: Thirty two patients with a diagnosis of OCD and twenty six healthy controls were administrated Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID-I), Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOKS), ADAS-Cog Scale, Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scales (HARS). Results: When we compared two groups, OCD subjects performed significantly worse in the fields of ADAS-Cog Total (p<0.0001), Word Recall (p<0.0001), Word Recognition (p<0.0001) Commands (p<0.0001), Constructional Praxis (p<0.05) and Orientation (p<0.05) Tests of ADAS-Cog compared to the healthy control group. Conclusion: We suggest that ADAS-Cog might be used as an available tool to assess some neurocognitive deficits in OCD patients. Further studies in larger samples of OCD patients are needed to assess the availability of ADAS-Cog in measuring the neurocognitive impairments.
