Global Functioning of Inpatients With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Major Depression

A chart review was conducted to compare the social, occupational, and daily functioning of 17 inpatients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, 17 with major depression, and 17 with schizophrenia. Current Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores of patients with schizophrenia were significantly lower than those of patients with depression and with obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, on work performance, daily living skills, and past-year GAF scores, patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and those with schizophrenia did not differ significantly, and both groups were significantly more impaired than patients with depression. Results show that inpatients with obsessive-compulsive disorder may exhibit severe and chronic functional impairments requiring extensive supportive and rehabilitative services.
