    Abstract:
    Taking the city of Chimkent as an example, the amount of socio-economic damage due to invalidity in mental disorders was calculated with the aid of analytical prognosis and by means of computer. The calculations demonstrated that the socio-economic damage because of this group of causes is significant. From total labor losses 53.3% are due to psychoses, 15,2% to neurosis and other mental disorders of a nonpsychotic character, 31,5% to mental retardation. The temporary disablement accounts for 29,7% of labor losses, while the invalidity for 70,3%. The employment of invalids at large industrial enterprises under the observation of a neuropsychiatric dispensary facilitates their medical and social rehabilitation. This permits to consider this circumstance as an important reserve in the decrease of socio-economic damage due to invalidity because of this group of reasons.
