Abstract

Obsessive Compulsive symptoms (OCS) occur frequently in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders with a rate varying from 10% to 64% for OCS and from 7.8% to 31.7% for OCD. The aim of our study was to evaluate socio-demographic features and psychopathological profile of OCS in schizo-obsessive patients. patients with DSM-5 diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum disorders and current typical OCS were evaluated for Socio-demographic features and Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms checklist was used to determine form and content of OCS. The mean age of patients was 28.6 years (SD±3.104). As regard marital status, 50% (n=25) of patients were single, 40%(n=20) were married and 10%(n=5) were divorced. The majority of patients came from rural areas and were illiterate. The most common obsessions were those of contamination followed by obsessions of need for symmetry and the most common compulsions were those of cleaning. Conclusion: Socio-demographic characteristics help in delineating the profile of schizo-obsessive patients.
