CONCLUSION
Nevertheless, we may conclude that OCS coexistence is a relatively frequent finding in schizophrenia. We found that the prevalance of OCS/OCD in patients with schizophrenia was as high as those obtained in recent studies. Clinician awareness of the possible co-occurrence of schizophrenia and OCD is clearly warranted. The identification of this specific subtype of schizophrenia has important implications for the application of effective therapeutic interventions.
