ABSTRACT

Introduction: Depression and schizophrenia are described as two mutually exclusive conditions. However, for more than a decade, it has been documented that depression occurs frequently in patients with schizophrenia, making it necessary to conduct studies aimed at evaluating the presence of depression in chronic schizophrenia longstanding.
To evaluate depression in patients with schizophrenia longstanding admitted Havana Psychiatric Hospital.
Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study, in which 30 schizophrenic patients hospitalized in long-stay wards participated was conducted. The study population consisted of 144 patients with chronic schizophrenia who had more than 5 years admitted to the Havana Psychiatric Hospital.
Results: We found that 20% of patients had depression. 83.3% were located in the fifth percentile of the positive and negative scales PANSS and 93.3% of the sample, but in general scale. The depression was not associated with sociodemographic, psychosocial or clinical (p › 0.05) characteristics; but if it was related to the presence of positive, negative and general psychopathology symptoms (p ‹ 0.001).
Conclusions: The prevalence of depression in patients with longstanding schizophrenia is low and it is related to the presence of deficits and psychopathological symptoms of the disease.
