[Transformation of individual psychotic forms of alcoholism during the course of the disease (according to the findings of a clinico-epidemiologic study)].
The results of a clinical-epidemiological study of patients with chronic alcoholic psychoses are presented. The socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with a recurrent and a continuous course of the psychotic forms of alcoholism are reviewed. The paroxysm-like course of the disease was characterized by the shortening of clear intervals between paroxysms and by its transformation into a more consistent and prolonged psychopathological syndrome. Data on disturbances of work-related adaptation in patients with the chronic forms of alcoholism are given. An analysis of the data obtained makes it possible to predict the probability of a change in psychotic states and also the duration of remissions.
