title: [Mental disorders in patients who abuse homemade opiates].
abstract: 194 male patients with narcomania caused by home-made opiates' abuse were observed. The age of patients was 18-45 years, narcotization period lasted 3-22 years. In all the patients psychopathological symptoms were observed during all stages of disease. There were both affective and psychopathic-like disorders as well as the changes of personality. The psychic disorders were especially pronounced in the acute period of abstinence syndrome but were also observed during the remote stages of disease as well as during remission. There were different variations and types of affective disorders in different stages of disease. The two types of remissions were recognised with prevalence of depression at the first type and emotional lability and psychopathy at the second. The formation of psychopathic-like defect was quite typical for this type of opiate narcomania.
