[Prognosis of the onset of latent pseudopsychopathic and pseudoneurotic schizophrenia in male adolescents (data of a long-term follow-up)].

The authors followed up (for 5-15 years) 256 male patients in whom disease first manifested in adolescence. They identified prognostic signs in the period of manifestations. Stable (over 4 years) remission correlated with an onset characterized by a depressive background, a syndrome of metaphysical intoxication and a correlation between the type of accentuation of the character as determined with help of the Pathocharacterological Diagnostic Questionnaire for adolescents and the clinically-determined premorbid type.
