[Clinico-dynamic aspects of long-term remissions in schizophrenia]
Abstract:
The authors studied 56 patients with paroxysmal schizophrenia who had remissions lasting over 10 years. Three variants of such long remissions were identified: with a negative time-course characterized by a gradual decrease in their quality and the presence of signs of slow progression of the disease; with a positive time-course characterized by an elevation in their levels, a gradual reduction of positive symptomatology and stabilization of the patient's status; stationary remissions with an unaltered clinical picture throughout their course. The time-course of prolonged remissions correlated with the regularities of the course of the endogenic process on the whole. Sociotherapeutic recommendations are presented for each of the identified variants.
