Summary
This study tests whether a culturally adapted self-help workbook based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in Pakistan. 108 adults with OCD will use the manual over ten weeks, with guidance from a therapist. Researchers will measure changes in OCD symptoms, anxiety, depression, and daily functioning to see if the approach is feasible and effective.
