[Slowly progressing schizophrenia with exacerbations during the involutional period].
On the basis of examining 50 schizophrenic patients the results of studying the types, the time course and the outcomes of the hystero-depressive states that develop during an exacerbation of a slowly-progressing schizophrenic process in the period of involution are presented. It was found that the development of those states was preceded by a long latent period. Two clinical variants of the time course of such states were differentiated: a hystero-depressive variant with a gradual progress of the psychopathological changes, and a hystero-dissociative one with formation of stable asthenic disorders. The data obtained show that a part of the cases of "involutional hysteria" described by old-time authors (Bumke, Heier, and others) should be regarded as manifestations of slow-progressing schizophrenia.
