"Post-psychotic depression (PPD) is defined as the development of depression during the phase of remission of schizophrenia."

I don't know if post-psychotic depression really exists or not, but, certainly, some researchers in psychiatry believe that it does.
"Conclusions The results provided support for the validity of two of the three course patterns of depression in schizophrenia, including PPD. Post-psychotic depression occurs de novo without concomitant change in positive or negative symptoms."
