520 |a Previous literature has suggested certain similarities between prophets and psychotics. The main aim of this study was to compare the prevalence and profile of psychopathologies and quality of life among psychotics and selected "prophets" in a Nigerian population. The study design was a comparative study. Profile of psychopathologies and quality of life were examined among 168 schizophrenia patients and "prophets". Analysis was carried out by SPSS 15.0. Compared with the prophets, schizophrenia patients were younger, less educated, with family histories of psychosis, past history of psychosis (p < .001), unmarried and unemployed (p < .01 and p < .001, respectively), and reported more psychopathologies. Quality of life in the physical health domain was lower in the schizophrenia group (p = .04). Six percent of prophets had schizophrenia. Schizophrenia patients and "prophets" seem two independent but interwoven groups. There is a need for further research in this area.
