[Population study of periodic endogenous psychoses (demographic data and comparative features of the clinical course)].
Prevalence and regularities of the course of affective and schizoaffective psychoses (969 observations) were studied. The studies have shown that the intensity of the clinical manifestations of manic-depressive psychoses becomes greater in senior age groups, while in cases of schizoaffective psychoses the patients of those groups show a simplification of the clinical picture and a transition of the disease course to a subclinical level. Studies of some characteristics of the premorbid social adaptation demonstrated that in patients with the affective psychoses the respective indices were higher than in patients with recurrent schizophrenia. The data obtained give one grounds to believe that the hyperadaptation of patients with the affective psychoses is associated with the patients' specific personal turn of mind.
