[The clinical course of schizophrenia associated with anesthetic depression].

The clinical picture of attack-like progressive schizophrenia associated with anesthetic depressions was explored in 60 patients. This made it possible to distinguish three varieties of the disease that differed in the premorbid condition, the age of manifestation, the rate of attacks, the psychopathological structure and duration of attacks of anesthetic depressions, personality changes and, therefore, by different degree of the disease progress. It has been established that the role of anesthetic depression in the process development (manifest, non-manifest) as well as the characteristics of its psychopathological structure are of definite prognostic importance.
