title: [Long-term dyskinetic remissions in shift-like schizophrenia].
abstract: The study sample included 32 patients with long-term remissions (from 5 to 33 years) developed after episodes of shift-like schizophrenia with catatonic disorders. All patients showed a good social and professional adjustment. This type of remissions was designated as "dyskinetic" due to the predomination of motor disturbances, microcatatonic symptoms of stupor and excitement. The diskinetic remission was characterized by stereotype urge to act, psychomotor passivity and decompensation "catatonic reactions". Two types of dyskinetic remission were singled out: hyper- and hypokinetic. Their psychopathological structure was defined by the hypersthenic defect including "the monotonous activity and the rigidity of the affect" in the first type and "irritable asthenia" in the second one. The hypothesis was developed: catatonic symptoms included to the structure of mentioned types of defect.
