You should take her for detailed evaluation as negative symptoms schizophrenia have symptoms like decreased communication, social activity, emotional flattening and many more which need to be evaluated. While depression presents with low mood, poor interest in daily activities, sleep disturbances, change in eating habits. Symptoms do not have any crude division with respect to disorder. After complete history proper diagnosis can be formed.
Next Steps
