title: [Clinical manifestations of epilepsy in hereditary schizophrenia].
abstract: A study was made of the effect of hereditary loading with schizophrenia on the clinical characteristics of epilepsy. In the population sample of epileptic patients (n = 3489), hereditary loading with schizophrenia was revealed in 4.7% of the patients, among whom loading with both schizophrenia and epilepsy was recorded in 0.6% of the cases. The clinical manifestations of epilepsy were compared in 143 patients loaded with schizophrenia and in 158 patients without hereditary loading with mental diseases. It has been established that in epileptic patients, the factor of hereditary loading with schizophrenia exerts a modifying effect on the premorbid characteristics, increasing the rate of schizoepileptoid, schizoid, and astheno-neurotic++ personality traits, and contributes to a favorable course of the disease. The data obtained standpoint of the previously advanced ++clinico-genetic concept of combined psychoses.
