title: Anhedonia, depression and the deficit syndrome of schizophrenia.
abstract: A total of 29 deficit schizophrenics were compared with 121 non-deficit schizophrenics using the Physical Anhedonia Scale (PAS) and the abridged form of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The results show that the deficit schizophrenics had a higher score on the PAS and lower score on the BDI than the non-deficit schizophrenics.
