| obsessive-compulsive disorder |
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) affects a significant number of schizophrenic patients. OCD is an anxiety disorder marked by obsessions (recurrent or persistent mental images, thoughts, or ideas) that may result in compulsive behaviors, repetitive, rigid, and self-prescribed routines that are intended to prevent the manifestation of the obsession. Some experts believe the behaviors exhibited in the disorder may actually be protective in people with schizophrenia in early stages.
