Abstract

In this study of 36 schizophrenic patients, conventional antidepressant therapies did not result in a clinically observable lifting of depression among those patients who were seriously depressed in the hospital after acute psychotic symptoms had been controlled by phenothiazines. The authors point out that depression in the convalescent schizophrenic remains a problem since it seems relatively unresponsive to conventional antidepressant therapies.
