PURPOSE: To examine the clinical and social background of first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients admitted to a psychiatric clinic. Moreover, to investigate for unique features in the profile of patients who, in addition, present obsessive-compulsive symptomatology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We recruited 65 (FEP) patients (52 men, 13 women) and we divided them in FEP without obsessive compulsive symptomatology [FEP (-) group, 27 patients] and FEP with obsessive compulsive symptomatology [FEP (+) group, 38 patients]. We assessed symptom severity with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Obsessive Compulsive symptoms were rated using Yale- Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). The MINI- International Neuropsychiatric Interview was administered to every patient presenting, in addition to a structured format of general social background questions. RESULTS: In total, patients were younger (mean age: 26.38 years) than previously reported. The majority were men (80%), of secondary education (80%) and lived with their parents (72.3%). Only 29.2% were unemployed, contrary to previous reports. PANSS score and the mean duration of untreated psychosis revealed no statistically significant difference between the two groups and the same was true about social characteristics. In MINI the only difference concerned the obsessive-compulsory disorder module. CONCLUSION: The clinical and social profile of FEP patients with obsessive- compulsory symptomatology is not different from that of FEP patients without obsessivecompulsory symptomatology.
