Abstract
Studies suggest that obsessive compulsive
disorder (OCD) is a prevalent disorder (7.8 - 31.7%) in patients
with schizophrenia and first-episode psychosis.1,2 Despite the
varied study designs that have been employed, calculated comorbidity
rates support the conclusion that this co-morbidity is
not likely to be an incidental finding.
