Introduction

Depression in psychosis has been more or less neglected as a field of study, due to its vague nosographic framework. Some studies have nevertheless focused on certain features of depression in psychosis, such as post-psychotic depression. This is a frequent phenomenon with a nosographic and etiopathogenic complexity that can lead to confusion.

Objectives

To study the characteristics of post-psychotic depression and compare results with those in the literature.

Methods

It is a prospective, descriptive, case series study conducted at the Ar-Razi psychiatric hospital in Salé. Inclusion criteria were patients diagnosed with a brief psychotic disorder, schizophreniform disorder or schizophrenia, in remission, who met the criteria for a DSM 5 characterized depressive episode. Data are collected during the psychiatric interview with the patient, using a questionnaire.
