Abstract: (3678 Views)
Objective: To explain the higher comorbidity rate of schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, some recent studies have suggested a new diagnostic entity called "schizo-obsessive disorder". One of research lines of the field is identifying the profile of specific neuropsychology deficits of this subgroup. The current study has tried to answer whether the pattern of executive dysfunctions in schizo-obsessive patients is different from the original disorders and whether cognitive dysfunctions of the two disorders are added together.
Method: In a cross-sectional study, 20 patients from each groups of schizo-obsessive disorder, schizophrenia, and nondepressed obsessive compulsive disorder were compared with normal subjects on the basis of executive functions.
Results: Patients with schizophrenia and schizo-obsessive disorder showed deficits in executive functioning; however, non depressed obsessive-compulsive patients were not different form normal subjects. Schizo-obsessive patients had more deficits in executive functioning than schizophrenia patients.
Conclusion: The difference seems to be more due to different pattern of neuropsychology deficits, than a "pathophysiological double jeopardy" model.
