Abstract

A 20 yrs/old female Chinese student presented with the diagnosis of schizophrenia. She was on her ongoing treatment for more than two and half years before she presented to our center. After revision of treatment regimen in our center, it became inconclusive whether the initial picture was of obsession, overvalued ideas or delusion. Her obsessive symptoms within schizophrenia spectrum, however, suggested towards a distinct subgroup with better outcome. Her auditory hallucination and delusion remitted and she continues on her medical management from the out-patient clinic.
