In clinical practice, many combinations of EDs and schizophrenia are possible, as these diagnoses are certainly
not mutually exclusive.The EDs may occur together with or independent of the psychotic symptoms of patients [13]. In
some clinical situations, ED coexists as a separate clinical entity of schizophrenia. Sometimes, the ED represents a
symptom that may be the first manifestation of a psychotic disorder, such as schizophrenia.
