Abstract
The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia ranged from 50 to 85%. One hundred outpatients with schizophrenia had participated in this study. All these patients had remission criteria. We used sociodemographic and clinical characteristics from medical files and we passed to our patients PANSS and ASEX. Comparison was between female and male groups. Sexual dysfunction was present in 55% of patients with schizophrenia. Women had higher total ASEX score than men especially in Arousal disorders and orgasm. There was a relationship between the ASEX total score and dose of treatment and with the severity of symptoms.
