Abstract
Aims: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by obsessions and compulsions. Despite the studies, etiopathogenesis is not fully understood. Pharmacological and psychosocial interventions in OCD may be insufficient due to limited knowledge of etiopathogenesis. Therefore, it is important to find inexpensive and easily determined biochemical parameters related to etiopathogenesis. In this study, the relationship between OCD and vitamin B12 (VitB12), folic acid (FA), vitamin D (VitD) and ferritin was investigated.
 Material and Method: 50 patients with OCD (12 female, 38 male) and 50 healthy controls (HC) (13 female, 37 male) were included in this retrospective study. Serum VitB12, FA, ferritin and 25-OH VitD levels of both groups were compared.
 Results: VitB12 (p
