Özet

The present study aimed to compare neuropsychological characteristics of patients with schizophrenia and patients with schizophrenia-obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A total of 78 patients were included in the study, with 32 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and 46 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia-OCD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition criteria. Two groups of the patients were compared with each other in terms of demographic data, psychotic symptoms, and clinical and neuropsychological characteristics. In this study, the schizophrenia-OCD relationship was seen at a higher rate in male patients, and this group has worse clinical features. In addition, there was no significant difference among sociodemographics, clinical characteristics, and social and neuropsychological functionality between the two groups. According to our results, patients with schizophrenia-OCD experience more depression and anxiety that are related to poorer quality of life. Longitudinal and more homogeneous patient groups are needed for further studies to reveal whether schizophrenia accompanied by OCD is a comorbidity, a subtype of schizophrenia, or a different disorder.
