Comparing verbal and nonverbal memory in posttraumatic stress disorder with obsessive compulsive disorder

Abstract

Background: There is growing evidence for neuropsychology dysfunction in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Moreover, the phenomenological, etiological and neurological relationship between these two disorders lead to raising this question whether there is any difference in PTSD and OCD patient’s performance on verbal and nonverbal memory.
