Abstract

Aims and objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, and to describe their sociodemographic profile. Materials and Method: 70 patients consecutively hospitalized with primary diagnosis of schizophrenia according to ICD-10 were assessed for the presence of OCS using M.I.N.I. The severity of schizophrenia symptoms and OCS was assessed using Y-BOCS. The results were expressed in terms of mean and standard deviation, percentage and proportion. Results: 13 of 70 (18.5%) schizophrenia patients had clinically significant OCS. Conclusion: OCS is relatively frequent in patients with schizophrenia in Indian settings.
