Abstract: Executive dysfunction is a core feature of schizophrenia and drug-induced psychosis. Executive function is an important cognitive domain crucial for an individual to achieve adaptive living. This study undertook neuropsychological assessment of executive function among Nigerian patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and drug-induced psychosis (DIP). The assessment tools employed were mini-mental status examination (MMSE), trail making test Parts A and B, fluency test and Stroop colour word test (SCWT), the executive function components assessed were working memory, inhibition, fluency and set shifting. A total of 109 participants took part in the research project. Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (n=53, 26 females and 27 males) drug-induced psychosis (n=56, 4 females and 52 males) were recruited for the study. There were statistically significant differences between DIP patients and schizophrenia cases on all the parameters employed apart from general cognitive functioning. Utilizing regression analyses, the most significant predictors of TMT part B parameters among schizophrenia and DIP cases were with current age (t=2.48, p=0.016) and (t=3.36, p=0.001) respectively’ Schizophrenia/ cases showed more executive function impairment than Drug-induced psychosis cases on the domains assessed. Hence, schizophrenics are more of a high risk population to develop executive dysfunction than drug-induced psychosis patients.
