Depression in the chronic course of schizophrenia
Abstract:
Depressive disorders occur in 80% of patients with schizophrenia at some stage of its course, and its occurrence poses a serious risk for suicidal behavior and negative treatment outcomes. At the same time, depression can be difficult to differentiate from a number of other manifestations of schizophrenia: negative symptoms and side effects of antipsychotic therapy. The lecture discusses the reasons for the frequent coexistence of schizophrenia and depression, and reviews the approaches to its diagnosis and therapy.
