Abstract
Objective: To investigate and quantify the occurrence of clinical comorbidities, the sociodemographic characterization and the clinical profile of patients with psychotic disorders treated in an outpatient clinic at a University Hospital. Methods: Quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and transversal research, based on primary and secondary data. Participants underwent an interview, with the application of sociodemographic and clinical forms. Results: The sample totaled 25 participants, mostly male, with a mean age of 48.1 years. Most patients have low education, were diagnosed as Paranoid Schizophrenia, with three patients having two diagnoses simultaneously. Systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia were the most prevalent comorbidities. Most participants undergo clinical follow-up, using atypical antipsychotics and without a history of hospitalization in the last year. Conclusion: Adequate outpatient follow-up of patients with psychotics disorders can prevent decompensation of pre-existing pathologies, as well as their control, avoiding the need for hospital admissions for the treatment of clinical comorbidities.
