title: [Clinical characteristics of premorbid conditions in patients with endogenous affective psychoses].
abstract: A total of 125 patients with endogenous affective psychosis manifest in middle age were under this study. Personality features were assessed and qualitative characterization of the structure and course of premanifest states was performed in patients with unipolar and bipolar course of the disease. No substantial relations were found between the peculiarities of the course of the disease and personality features (schizoid, hyperthymic, obsessive-compulsive). Asthenic patients were prevalent in the cases of the disease assuming a depressive and manic disturbances type course. The division of affective psychosis into uni- and bipolar forms correlated with the differentiation of personality anomalies according to their qualitative characteristics with due account of their structure (singling out accentuated, psychopathic and pseudopsychopathic personalities).
