Description
Wissam Ayoub and co-authors describe Muslim patients in Lebanon whose obsessive-compulsive disorder takes a religious form, in a 2024 study. This form of the illness is poorly mapped compared with other types. The team set out to record the social and clinical traits of such patients, plus their faith life.
Fifty outpatients with religious symptoms filled in scales for obsession strength and for spiritual belief. Symptoms split across mild, moderate, and severe levels. Most had attended religious school at some point and rated their own and their parents' faith as moderate to high. The authors compare groups by severity to guide care that respects faith while treating the illness.
