title: [Cognitive disorders in patients with schizophrenia at different stages of the disease].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study cognitive disorders in patients with schizophrenia at different stages of the disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  Forty-five patients with paranoid schizophrenia with first and recurrent episodes were examined clinically and psychometrically using the PANSS. Neurocognitive functioning was assessed with the «Rey--Osterrieth Complex figure».
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Differences were found not only between patients with chronic and first-episode schizophrenia, but also between first-time hospitalized and re-hospitalized patients within the first-episode group.
