The overlap between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and psychosis presents a fascinating paradox in psychiatric research and a clinical challenge. While OCD is characterized by pervasive doubt and uncertainty, psychosis is marked by unshakable conviction and delusional certainty. How can these seemingly opposite disorders coexist in the same individual? This session will explore this intriguing phenomenon, highlighting the latest research in the cognitive profiles of those who experience both conditions.
This symposium will present the intricate interplay between OCD and psychosis, offering novel insights to advance the understanding and treatment of individuals experiencing both conditions.
