It's not about opinion.

Depression is an example of only one possible negative symptom of schizophrenia.

For example, some schizophrenics experience significant cognitive dysfunction in the absence of any symptoms of depression.

The etiology could well have no overlap with depression at all (for example, it could be a cholinergic deficit rather than a serotonin deficit).

If the patient with schizophrenia is experiencing cognitive difficulties as a result of low acetylcholine, then boosting serotonin with an antidepressant would actually be counterproductive (as serotonin antagonizes acetylcholine).
