The prevalence of depression was estimated to be 30%. The mean scores on the negative subscale of the PANSS were significantly higher in patients with schizophrenia and depression compared to control group (U=3.64, p=0.00), and so were those on the General Psychopathology Scale (U=4.91, p=0.00).

The aim of this study was to analyze risk factors present in schizophrenic patients
with depressive symptomatology. The sample comprised of 76 respondents diagnosed with schizophrenia.
In the study, we used the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Calgary Depression
Scale for Schizophrenia. The prevalence of depression was estimated to be 30%. The mean
scores on the negative subscale of the PANSS were significantly higher in patients with schizophrenia
and depression compared to control group (U=3.64, p=0.00), and so were those on the General Psychopathology
Scale (U=4.91, p=0.00). Socio-demographic factors were identified as important factors

a correlation of poor compliance with psycho-pharmacotherapy, increased number of hospitalizations
and shorter remission period with the severity of clinical presentation (p<0.05). Since the presence of
these factors is associated with depression in schizophrenia, their early detection in clinical practice is
