Data were collected using a characteristic data questionnaire (demographic and clinical features) and Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) questionnaire. Among 305 respondents assessed, 112 respondents (36.7%) experienced depression. Most charactheristic of respondents who had depression were aged 24-42 years old, male, single, and unemployed. Factors significantly associated with depression in schizophrenic patients were occupational status, age at onset suffered mental disorder, length of hospital stay and mental disorder diagnoses.
