[Dynamics and outcome of obsessive neuroses with onset in childhood and adolescence in the light of follow-up studies].
A total of 52 patients (28 males and 24 females from 16.5 to 21.5 years of age) observed in childhood because of obsessional neuroses were studied. All the studied cases were divided into 3 groups: patients with obsessional movements and actions, patients with obsessional fears and patients with obsessions of the mixed type. Follow-up studies of the patients demonstrated that the prognosis of obsessional states with an onset in childhood and adolescency should not be based only on the duration of the disease. It depends on the combination of a number of factors: the clinical form of neuroses, type of development, traits of the "basis", stage of psychophysical development, determing evolution of the disease and degree of social adaptation.
