[Clinical and experimental-psychological features of depression in late onset schizophrenia patients with Kandinski Klerambo's syndrome].

Clinical-psychopathological and experimental-psychological investigation of depressed late onset schizophrenia patients with Kandinski Klerambo's syndrome made possible to determine the most frequent subgroups of depressive states: a) apatho-adynamic depression, b) depression with cenestopathy and hypochondriac symptoms, c) depression with depersonalization and de-realization, d) melancholic depression. The experimental psychological examination with method of fixed set by D.N Uznadze revealed relatively intact personality features that could be explained by different aging factors. Analyzing correlation between fixed set characteristics among the depressed schizophrenia patients with passivity phenomena we could assume, that basically the fixed set among those patients is stable, persistent, static, steady, constant, generalized and in some cases, in the presence of dis-automation of sensory integrity, it may be local.
