Abstract EN
Prodromal schizophrenia presents with a wide variety of psychiatric symptoms including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS).
However, this differentiation between a sole diagnosis of OCD and prodromal schizophrenia seems challenging in some settings.
We present a sixteen-year-old male with six-months history of recurrent intrusive images and fearfulness, in addition to decreased socialization.
He was managed as a case of prodromal schizophrenia and was treated with antipsychotics.
His obsessions decreased but he continued to exhibit negative schizophrenia within two years of follow-up.
Acknowledging the diversity of prodromal schizophrenia presentations rather than treating symptoms as a cross-sectional diagnosis (especially in high-risk population for psychosis) is crucial for a better management.
