Data were collected using socio-demographic performa, Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (Y-BOCS), WHOQoL-Bref hindi, hindi stigma scale, and Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale (BABS) from March to June 2021. Appropriate statistical analyses were used.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A majority of patients were males (58%), married (65%), above matric pass (89%), and belonged to rural areas (62%). The total stigma score showed a significant negative correlation with overall QoL (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01**), overall health (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.002**), satisfaction with physical health (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.006**), psychological health (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01**), and social relations (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01**) on WHOQoL-Bref. Discrimination, disclosure, and positive aspect domains of the stigma scale also showed a significant negative correlation with many domains of QoL. Severity of illness showed a significant negative correlation with overall QoL (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.045*), satisfaction with physical health (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01**), psychological health (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.01**), social relations (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.004**), and environment (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.007**). Poorer insight on BABS was associated with poorer overall health (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.04*), satisfaction with physical health (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.001**), social relations (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.03**), and environment (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.009**). Stigma was significantly increased by higher severity of obsessions (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.04*), compulsions (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.007**), and total Y-BOCS score (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n 0.007**).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Stigma and severity of OCD have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Stigma reduction and appropriate management of severity should be an integral part of management for patients with OCD.<\/jats:p>\n
