Summary
This study looks at whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a supplement, can help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that hasn't improved with standard treatments. About 90 participants will receive either NAC or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if NAC changes brain chemistry (glutamate levels) and improves control over compulsive behaviors.
