Schizo-obsessive and obsessive-compulsive disorder: Comparison of clinical characteristics and neurological soft signs
چکیده انگلیسی

The purpose of the study was to examine whether schizophrenia with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) represents a severe form of OCD-spectrum disorders on the basis of neurological soft signs (NSS) and obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms. Sixteen patients with OCD-schizophrenia, 25 OCD patients and 23 healthy controls (HC) were studied. Scales for the Assessment of Positive (SAPS) and Negative Symptoms (SANS), Clinical Global Impressions Scale and Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) were used to assess the schizophrenic and OC symptomatology. NSS were evaluated with the Neurological Evaluation Scale (NES). OCD-schizophrenics had significantly higher scores on total NES than HC. The patients with OCD were more likely to have total Y-BOCS and subscale scores of compulsions than patients with OCD-schizophrenia. The rate of symmetry obsessions and cleaning/washing compulsions were significantly higher in patients with OCD compared to OCD-schizophrenics. We have found no correlation of OC symptoms with schizophrenic symptomatology. Our findings may suggest that OCD-schizophrenia is a distinct subtype of schizophrenia, not a more severe form of OCD-spectrum disorder.
