[Clinical picture and course of early recurrent schizophrenia at a late stage of the disease].

The clinico-follow-up study of 90 patients with recurrent schizophrenia with an early onset (up to 20 years) permitted to depict peculiarities of the clinical picture and the course at a remote period of the disease depending upon the clinical manifestations of the previous stage and the degree of the progressiveness. An analysis of the clinical material has demonstrated that periodic schizophrenic with an early onset contains, as well as in adults, various variants of the course that differ in the degree of progressiveness (mild cyclothimuc, reduced, "cliche" and complicated states) which most likely condition a different level of "outcome": from the mild ones on the level of psychic asthenia up to more expressed in the form of personality autization of a different degree. The stated negative symptomatology was determined on the background of asthenical remission of a combined character (affective and asthenical disorders).
