Abstract
Patients with schizophrenia and depression have a reduced level of mental health, often with negative emotional growth and low self-evaluation. Self-pity is one of the objective criteria for mental health and is likely to be impaired. Anhedonia as a core clinical manifestation of schizophrenia and depression, but there is few research to explore the relationship between self-pity and anhedonia. There is no obvious difference in the symptoms of anhedonia between the two diseases, but there may be substantial differences in psychopathology. This difference is likely to have an impact on the association of self-pity and anhedonia. The purpose of this study is to understand the level of self-compassion in patients with schizophrenia and depression; to verify the relationship between self-pity and loss of anhedonia in patients with schizophrenia and depression; and to explore the effect of depressive symptoms on patients with both diseases and the different influences of the relationship between compassion and anhedonia.
