Treatment of depression in schizophrenia patients
If depression is associated with the prodrome or onset of a psychotic episode, antipsychotic medication is usually the most effective treatment for both the depression and the psychotic episode. However, when depression occurs in the context of relative remission of psychosis, antidepressant medication can be useful.
