Daily behavioral observations were made for several years on 10 male schizophrenic patients and on three male patients with organic brain disorders. Analysis of these data showed strong cyclic components in the five schizophrenic patients with predominantly hebephrenic symptomatology. Period lengths noted were about 2 days, 5 to 6 days, 30 days, and a longer cycle of 40 to 100 days duration. Antipsychotic medications appear to have a suppressant effect, but tricyclic antidepressants may enhance pre-existing rhythms.
对10名男性精神分裂症患者和3名患有器质性脑障碍的男性患者进行了数年的日常行为观察。对这些数据的分析表明，在5名主要表现为青春期痴呆症状的精神分裂症患者中存在强烈的周期性成分。记录到的周期长度约为2天、5至6天、30天，以及一个持续时间为40至100天的较长周期。抗精神病药物似乎有抑制作用，但三环类抗抑郁药可能会增强已有的节律。
