[Age-related dynamics of outpatient forms of schizophrenia (on the age-related dynamics of so-called latent schizophrenia in light of late catamneses in senescence)].
The report contains a study of 45 patients aged 60--84 in whom during the entire life there were gradually increasing subclinical symptoms of schizophrenia: emotional shallowness, oddness, episodic rudimentary affective or paranoial disturbances. However, the level of adaptation and mental activity did not suffer significantly. The age-specific dynamics of such forms corresponded to general regularities in the development of schizophrenia: in the involutional period there was revivification of the above-mentioned symptoms of schizophrenia while in senescence only paranoial disorders and an increase of deficitary changes remained. The author discusses the question of justified diagnosis of latent schizophrenia in such cases.
