Material and Methods: This case control comparative study was carried out at the Department of Psychiatry, Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar from January to December. One twenty subjects were included in the study by non probability convenient sampling. Group (the study group) included sixty patients suffering from schizophrenia between the ages of - and Group (the control group) included sixty normal subjects without any major psychiatric disorder proportionally matched for age and gender. Those suffering from schizoaffective illness, major depression and organic brain damage were excluded. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), a item scale was used to assess the presence and severity of depressive symptoms. Results: The spectrum of depressive symptoms was broad in the schizophrenic sample. The difference in two groups was observed specially in depressed mood i.e., patients in the study vs. subjects in the control group with a p value of. and in psychomotor retardation i.e., patients in the study vs. subjects in the control group, again with a p value of.. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that depressive symptoms are a part and parcel of schizophrenia and every patient suffering from schizophrenia should be assessed in detail for the presence and severity of depressive symptoms.

There is compelling evidence to try antidepressant, when patient has persistent depressive symptoms and is not in a phase of acute - illness. As far as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is concerned, no significant improvement in depressive symptoms has been reported in patients suffering from schizophrenia. Rehabilitation, social support and meaningful social role can have favorable effects. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been shown to have positive effect on depressive symptoms in schizophrenia. F o r b o t h m e n a n d w o m e n w i t h schizophrenia, depressive symptoms were frequent and did not appear to be a by product of age, neuroleptics, family history, negative symptoms or,. movement disorder The spectrum of depressive symptoms seen in schizophrenic patients was wideranging. The differences in depressive symptoms between the schizophrenics and normal groups were observed in terms of the severity of feeling of hopelessness, helplessness (depressed mood) and psychomotor retardation. Other depressive symptoms were also frequent in schizophrenia although they did not meet the criteria for major depressive disorder. One fifth of the female schizophrenics had or more on score on items Hamilton depression rating scale which shows moderate to severe depression. When lesser degrees of depression were also taken into account, the over whelming majority of both men and women with schizophrenia had at least subsyndrome symptoms of depression. The clinical importance of this finding is underscored by several studies that describe sub syndrome depressive symptoms in non psychotic patients being associated with considerable social dysfunction and disability, suicidal attempts and - risk of later major depressive disorder. It is also worth mentioning that rate of mild depressive symptoms in our normal comparison group is well in line with the rate of,. sub syndrome depression There are several reasons why depressive symptoms may be associated with schizophrenia:. As an adverse effect of antipsychotic medications. Although these can occur in patients not on antipsychotics but a kinetic side effect of medication may be wrongly attributed as depressive retardation.. These may be a response to the recovery of insight into the illness and the problems to be faced. Again, this might take place at times, but provide an influential general justification.. D e p r e s s i o n b e i n g a n i n t e g r a l p a r t o f In a study of patients after the acute onset of schizophrenia, the investigators have found depression to be most common in the acute phase, decreasing during the following three months. They concluded that depression is a symptom of schizophrenia although it may be recognized only after more striking psychotic symptoms have improved, of people who have suffered a depressive disorder at any time during the illness,, and out of these percent will be suicidal. COCLUSIO The results of this study suggest that depressive symptoms are a part and parcel of schizophrenia and every patient suffering from schizophrenia should be assessed in detail for the presence and severity of depressive symptoms. However further studies with a larger sample size will be required to find out the most common depressive symptoms in schizophrenia and the approach to overcome them. REFERECE.
