Abstract

Objective: Schizophrenia presents with different symptom domains and functionality during its course. Obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms in schizophrenia have many themes to be clarified. Our aim was to compare schizophrenia patients with and without OC symptoms in terms of symptom domains, cognitive functions, and quality of life.
