  • Title: [Autonomic vascular asthenia as a component of the psycho- autonomic syndrome in slowly progressing schizophrenia and cyclothymic disorder in young patients].
    Author: Kireeva IP.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1989; 89(8):75-80. PubMed ID: 2588904.
    Abstract:
    Investigated were 55 patients with slow-progredient schizophrenia and cyclothymia aged 17 to 25 with the syndrome of vaso-autonomic dystonia (VAD) accompanying their mental disorder. VAD was found in 80% of the depressive cases, hypomaniac syndromes and psychopath-like (residual) states. Each of these disorders correlated with a distinct type of VAD. In a majority of the cases VAD manifested after several years of mental disease. The study provides grounds for combined psychotropic and rational psychotherapy with an early social rehabilitating assistance. The study substantiated the necessity of psychiatric services aimed at specialized psychiatric aid to these patients in the general out-patient clinic network.
