[The syndrome of anorexia nervosa in schizophrenia].
The authors studied 34 schizophrenic patients with the syndrome of nervous anorexia. It is demonstrated that nervous anorexia which was initially related to the syndrome of dysmorphobia-dysmorphomania, in the future, as the schizophrenic defect increases, is reduced to exhausted forms of "digestive behavior" (particularly the "vomitting behavior") and loses its connection with dysmorphobic experiences. From the very beginning the syndrome of nervous anorexia is connected with affective disturbances, cenesthopathic-hypochondrical complaints and a gradual personality deterioration. The schizophrenic defect in such cases does not attain the degree of an apathico-abulic syndrome and has traits of "organicity".
