“…Mean GAF scores were significantly higher in the DELIR-EMP study 11 (composed of DD patients only) than in the other 2 studies (GENIMS 18 and Paragnous 19 ), which were composed of a mix of patients with DD and SZ. In addition, the DELIREMP 11 study sample (composed of patients with DD only) showed lower mean scores on the PANSS than those from the GENIMS 18 and the Paragnous 19 studies (see Table 1).…”

“…Each study had a single interviewer for the clinical and psychopathological assessments who were all formally trained by the same senior trainer (J.A.C.). Thus, the sample was composed of individuals from 3 different studies: the GENIMS study 18 (DD/SZ = 23/76), the Paragnous study 19 (DD/SZ = 23/67), and the DELIREMP study 11 (DD/SZ = 86/0). To detect potential measurement bias in both Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) evaluations made by different raters and across studies, we used intergroup 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and calculated Cronbach’s alpha to analyse the internal consistency of the different PANSS dimensions.…”

“…Since the genesis of schizophrenia is considered to be multifactorial, the influence of various factors, whether environmental or individual, can contribute in a person who has predisposition towards depression to develop symptoms of depression ( 3 , 7 , 25 , 26 ). Depressive moods, anxiety, social withdrawal and emotional detachment often occur in schizophrenia, although they are not necessarily unique to schizophrenia ( 27 ). Given that negative symptoms in schizophrenia partially overlap with the symptoms of depression, it makes it difficult to distinguish between mood symptoms and negative symptoms in schizophrenia ( 28 ).…”

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 (p<0.05). Personal and environmental factors such as loneliness, immediate social environment, social support and isolation were statistically significantly different between the groups (p<0.05). There was 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 vital to ensure timely prevention of the development of depressive symptomatology.

“…This case illustrates the ability of treatment for a sleep disturbance to reduce the severity of psychological symptoms. Negative symptoms, such as the ones seen in this case, are considered rare in DD, but they do occur [ 64 ].…”

“…The more severe the sleep problems, the more severe the prepsychotic symptoms, their relationship mediated by symptoms of depression. This suggests that effective clinical management of sleep disturbances and of depression could help to improve paranoid symptoms and distortions of perception in those at high risk for developing a psychotic illness [ 64 ].…”

Sleep Disturbances in Patients with Persistent Delusions: Prevalence, Clinical Associations, and Therapeutic Strategies

Sleep disturbances accompany almost all mental illnesses, either because sound sleep and mental well-being share similar requisites, or because mental problems lead to sleep problems, or vice versa. The aim of this narrative review was to examine sleep in patients with delusions, particularly in those diagnosed with delusional disorder. We did this in sequence, first for psychiatric illness in general, then for psychotic illnesses where delusions are prevalent symptoms, and then for delusional disorder. The review also looked at the effect on sleep parameters of individual symptoms commonly seen in delusional disorder (paranoia, cognitive distortions, suicidal thoughts) and searched the evidence base for indications of antipsychotic drug effects on sleep. It subsequently evaluated the influence of sleep therapies on psychotic symptoms, particularly delusions. The review’s findings are clinically important. Delusional symptoms and sleep quality influence one another reciprocally. Effective treatment of sleep problems is of potential benefit to patients with persistent delusions, but may be difficult to implement in the absence of an established therapeutic relationship and an appropriate pharmacologic regimen. As one symptom can aggravate another, comorbidities in patients with serious mental illness all need to be treated, a task that requires close liaison among medical specialties.
