[Clinical manifestations and social adaptation of patients with sluggish schizophrenia (epidemiologic study)].
Clinico-epidemiological studies were carried out in patients with sluggish schizophrenia, registered at the psychoneurological center in one of the districts of Tomsk. The prevalence of sluggish schizophrenia was determined with regard to the sex, age of the disease onset, and the clinical manifestations of the illness. Changes in the psychopathological manifestations were studied throughout the entire disease as were the characteristics of social adaptation of patients. It has been established that changes in the distribution of the syndromes, noticeable enhancement of negative disorders occur only after 10 to 15 years of the disease whereas the level of social adaptation undergoes changes on the 4th-6th year of the disease and remains constant to a considerable measure for a long time. The data obtained are of importance for more rational and goal-oriented planning of the aid for these patients at different stages of the disease.
