Objectives: To assess obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) comorbidity and obsessive-compulsive symptom (OCS) dimensions in patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 300 patients with schizophrenia who were applied to the to the Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic of Health Sciences University Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey between July and December 2018. Data collection forms created by researchers were applied to the individuals. Obsessive-compulsive symptom were assessed with the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) and the Dimensional Obsessive Compulsive Scale (DOCS).
Results: The OCD prevalence was 17% (n=50) in the whole group while 10% (n=24/250) of the patients without OCD had 8-15 points at YBOCS. One-way ANOVA test revealed that the patients with OCD showed more severe positive, negative, and depressive symptoms, and also had lower functionality compared to those without OCD (p less than 0.05). The most severe OCS dimension was unacceptable obsessional thoughts in the patients with OCD and OCS. The severity of unacceptable obsessional thoughts was positively correlated with the depressive symptom severity, and negatively correlated with onset age of OCD and insight level in Pearson correlation analysis.
Conclusion: Patients with schizophrenia should be evaluated for presence of the OCS/OCD comorbidity in clinical practice. In addition, dimensional assessment of OCS might provide a different viewpoint on the presence of OCS/OCD in schizophrenia.

Introduction: PAdverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are associated with an increased risk of mental health issues in general, but their relationship with panic disorder (PD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has received less attention compared to borderline personality disorder (BPD). Dissociative experiences are significant predictors of increased symptoms, reduced treatment adherence, and poor prognosis in several psychiatric conditions, including PD, OCD, and BPD; still, their impact remains underexplored. This part of the study focuses on the overall efficiency of psychotherapeutic programs on treatment-resistant patients diagnosed with PD, OCD, and BPD (or combined), as well as the relationship between ACEs, dissociation rates, and treatment results.

Introduction: Panic disorder (PD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are associated with various psychosocial factors that may influence their onset and psychopathology. Dissociation encompasses a wide range of manifestations, from benign experiences to severe mental health issues. Research comparing childhood trauma and dissociation, general psychopathology, and the onset of the disorder among patients with PD, OCD, and BPD has not yet been published.

Introduction: The onset of symptoms in Rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP) is typically over days to weeks and is often triggered by stressors like fever or childbirth. Limited information is available on how the motor and nonmotor symptoms evolve over the course of the disease. Our longitudinal study analyzed data from a cohort of RDP patients, documenting their symptoms across multiple visits.

Background And Objectives: Ecopipam is a selective antagonist of the dopamine D1 receptor, and its efficacy and safety have recently been explored in several clinical trials involving patients with Tourette syndrome (TS). The objectives of this systematic review were to determine the pooled estimate for efficacy [in terms of reduction in tic Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) scores] and safety of oral ecopipam in subjects with TS.
Methods: All clinical trials that explored the efficacy and/or safety of ecopipam in patients with TS were included to determine the pooled estimate for change in YGTSS, Clinical Global Impression (CGI)-TS, and the severity of comorbid attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsion disorder (OCD), and depressive symptoms, as well as the nature and frequency of adverse effects.

Introduction: Down Syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD) is a neuropsychiatric condition causing insomnia, catatonia, encephalopathy, and obsessive-compulsive behavior in otherwise healthy individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Smaller cohorts have identified heterogenous diagnostic abnormalities which have predicted immunotherapy responsiveness although pattern analysis in a large cohort has never been performed.
Methods: A multi-center, retrospective study of individuals with DSRD was performed.
