State of innate and adaptive immunity has been assessed by the indices of activity of leukocyte elastase, alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha(1)-PI), level of C-reactive protein and autoantibodies to neuroantigens (nerve growth factor and basic myelin protein) in different forms of mentalopathology: schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, mental retardation with behavioral abnormalities, organic mental disorders, affective disorders, psychogenias (adaptation disorders), early alcoholism. The increase of activity or levels of all immunological parameters was characteristic of these diseases. However within each group were patients with different levels of immunity activation.
