AB  - Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of lifetime 
      anxiety disorders in patients with schizophrenia in Sanliurfa, Turkey, and to 
      assess the association between comorbidity and several demographic and clinical 
      variables. Methods. Eighty-two outpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia were 
      recruited for the study. They were assessed by means of the Structured Clinical 
      Interview for DSM-IV axis I Disorders-Clinician Version (SCID-I-CV), Anxiety 
      Disorder Module, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Hamilton 
      Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), and the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale 
      (GAF). Results. Fifty-five (67.1%) were diagnosed with at least one lifetime 
      comorbid anxiety disorder. The most common anxiety disorder was 
      obsessive-compulsive disorder (39.0%), followed by social phobia (13.4%). We 
      found patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia with comorbid anxiety disorders 
      had shorter duration of illness than those without such comorbid conditions. 
      Atypical antipsychotics were more commonly prescribed to treat these patients. 
      Conclusion. As comorbidity of anxiety disorders is relatively prevalent among 
      patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, special attention to this issue 
      should be paid when interviewing these patients.
