Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common psychiatric disorder characterized by disturbing thoughts, mental pictures (obsessions), and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Despite the current utilization of pharmacologically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and cognitive-behavioral therapy, persistent symptoms are reported in 40-60% of patients. Hence, we aim to analyze the levels of specific miRNAs and comprehensively evaluate the levels of serotonin, a pivotal neurotransmitter in the context of OCD. In the present study, blood serum was taken from peripheral whole blood s
