Abstract

We present the case of a 31-year-old man with comorbid schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) distinct from delusional beliefs. The OCD was successfully treated to 6-month follow-up with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) without leading to significant deterioration of psychotic phenomena. Considerations for clinicians are discussed.
