  • Title: [Early criteria for social-vocational prognosis of sluggish schizophrenia].
    Author: Sarsembaev KT.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1983; 83(5):716-20. PubMed ID: 6880500.
    Abstract:
    The paper presents the results of a clinical and epidemiological examination of 98 patients with simple long-standing schizophrenia (duration over 20 years) which was first manifested at the age of 10 to 20 years. This study was performed according to the standard protocol and technique of identifying schizophrenic individuals (N. M. Zharikov, I. I. Liberman, 1970). The factors suggestive of a favourable social and employment prognosis for such patients at long-term stages of the disease include a high degree of their psychic activity, secondary or higher education as well as good relations in the family. The factors aggravating this prognosis comprise an excitable type of the premorbid state, a low degree of psychic activity prior to the onset of disease as well as a formal attitude of the family members to the patient.
