Adolescents with schizophrenia and OCD needed more antipsychotic doses for acute exacerbation and the maintenance of reduction of psychosis severity than adolescents with only schizophrenia. We could suggest that OCD comorbidity in schizophrenia is more treatment resistant, although the severity of the schizophrenia was similar between study groups. There was no correlation between OCD and schizophrenia symptoms either.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
