Abstract

Background. The purpose of this study was to study the needs of patients with schizophrenia who are in a psychiatric hospital for a long time, while suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and depression. It is known that depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia are associated with severe morbidity and mortality. As you know, schizophrenia is characterized by a chronic, incessant, severe course of the disease.


Method. The Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) and DSM-5 were applied to 100 male and 100 female patients with paranoid schizophrenia who were found to have depression of varying severity. All patients were examined in the Republican Psychiatric Hospital No. 1 of the Ministry of Health of Azerbaijan, which is designed for 2000 beds Depending on the mental state of the patients; permission for the examination was obtained from the majority of patients or their guardians.


 Results. For the first time, the study found that men with paranoid schizophrenia who were in a psychiatric hospital for a long time, both in frequency and severity, were found to have depression of varying degrees. Men are twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression as women. This data obtained by us contradicts the occurrence of depression in the general population, where depression is usually twice as high in women. The data obtained were summed up both in terms of the severity of the clinical severity of depression DSM-5   and on the CDSS scale.


Conclusion. The results of this study suggest that men with paranoid schizophrenia who are long-term in a psychiatric hospital often suffer from depression than women. It is currently very difficult to fully explain this phenomenon. However, given that the husband in society occupies a dominant role as the head of the family, his long stay in a psychiatric hospital is one of the causes of depression. Thus, men with paranoid schizophrenia who are in a psychiatric hospital for a long time need more differentiated psychiatric help, especially in relation to affective disorders of the depressive type. This issue needs further study.
