description BACKGROUND: Obsessive compulsive symptoms in schizophrenia are well recognized but are a less-researched entity. These symptoms have important implications for management and prognosis. AIM: To find out the prevalence of obsessive compulsive symptoms among patients with schizophrenia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 90 hospitalized patients with schizophrenia diagnosed according to DCR of ICD-10 criteria were selected for the study. Padua inventory and Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale were applied to find out the prevalence and nature of obsessive compulsive symptoms. RESULTS: It was found that 10% of schizophrenic patients had obsessive compulsive symptoms. CONCLUSION: Obsessive compulsive symptoms are prevalent in patients with schizophrenia. The presence of comorbidity should be explored for adequate management.
