Özet

Background Psychotic symptoms, psychotic-like experiences and schizotypal signs can emerge in different sociocultural circumstances and cause clinical or non-clinical pictures. Transient or self-limiting psychotic-like experiences are more prevalent than clinical psychotic disorders. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of psychotic symptoms in an urban area.
