Popis: Forty three patients, mean age 55.20 +/- 9.27 SD, affected by Schizophrenia Residual Type (DSM IV, RDC criteria) and treated with neuroleptic drugs for a mean of 25.42 years (+/- 4.12 SD) were included into the study. Clinical evaluation was cross-sectional assessed by BPRScale, SAPS, SANS, HRS-D, EPSE. ACS and MMSE. Seventy percent of patients presented a "postpsychotic depression" (42%, mild; 16%, moderate and 12% serious). "Postpsychotic depression" does not seem to be influenced by neuroleptics, but it seems to be a component of residual schizophrenia in patients with a long lasting permanence in a mental hospital.
