Hi Jaroen,

There is evidence that low acetylcholine (not low serotonin) could be a factor in the cognitive dysfunction seen in schizophrenia.

Antidepressants are not "cure-alls". For example, they don't improve cognition in Alzheimer's, they don't improve cognition in ADHD.

You have to treat the right problem.

Now, if a schizophrenic *also* has a mood disorder, then yes, an antidepressant may help.

But, negative symptoms are not the same thing as depression.
