[Acute attack-like endogenic psychoses in adolescents].

A clinical cohort was formed of 80 patients. The main criteria for including patients into the cohort were both the age of 12-17 years by the moment of the psychosis manifestation and a course of the disease in form of the attacks. On the basis of the study of psychopathological structure of the attacks from their onset to the remission and the follow-up study (5-10 years from the first attack) the following types of the psychotic episodes were determined: affective-oneiroid (19 patients); catatonic-oneiroid (11 cases); affective-paranoid (25) and paranoid (25). According to the modern classification, attack-like progredient catatonic and paranoid schizophrenia (36 patients) and schizoaffective psychosis (44 individuals) were diagnosed. A differential approach to therapy and rehabilitation has been grounded for separate groups of the patients.
