Abstract
Although schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are distinct nosological entities, they frequently coexist in a substantial proportion of patients (S. Devi et al., 2015). The prevalence rate of schizophrenia in the general population is nearly 1%, whereas the corresponding rate of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is as high as 2%–3%. Instances of the co-occurrence of psychotic and obsessive–compulsive Disorder have been noted since the 19th century with low prevalence rates (1%–3.5%). However, more contemporary studies have documented a much higher prevalence of OCD in schizophrenia, with rates reaching 12% for comorbid OCD (E. Scotti-Muzzi & O. L. Saide, 2017).
