All superscripts indicate significant pairwise differences when using Bonferroni correction (p< .05)

a

HC = Hx OCD; HC < OCD, comorbid OCD; Hx OCD = OCD < comorbid OCD,

b

HC < comorbid OCD,

c

HC = Hx OCD = OCD < comorbid OCD,

d

HC = Hx OCD < OCD < comorbid OCD,

e

HC = OCD < comorbid; Hx OCD = HC, OCD, comorbid OCD

HC = Healthy controls, Hx OCD = individuals who no longer meet criteria for OCD, OCD = patients who meet criteria for OCD only, comorbid OCD = patients who have current diagnoses of OCD and other conditions. Sample sizes vary slightly due to missing data.

QLESQ = Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire; SAS= Social Adjustment Scale; MOS = Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey; SDS = Sheehan Disability Scale
