  • Title: [Effect of the acceleration factor on formation of the clinical picture of schizophrenia in adolescents].
    Author: Sosiukalo OD, Bol'shakov AG, Kashnikova AA.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1978; 78(10):1523-7. PubMed ID: 716729.
    Abstract:
    A comparitive clinico-psychopathological study in 275 cases of schizophrenia in adolescent boys with different variants of sex maturation (accelerated, retarded and normal) demonstrated significant differences in the clinical picture and development of schizophrenia depending upon the physical and in particularly the sex maturation. The authors come to the conclusion of a modifying influence of maturation on the formation of the clinical picture and development of schizophrenia in this age period. At the same time acceleration of maturation is not considered as an unconditioned unfavourable prognostical sign.
