Abstract

The World Psychiatric Association and the European Association of Psychiatrists, as the main strategy for the treatment of psychosis in general and schizophrenia in particular, offer early detection of this pathology and timely medical intervention. Particular importance is given to early intervention in the prodromal period of psychosis.

The aim of the study – to learn the psychopathological patterns of the development of the prodromal stage of psychosis to identify the risk factors for the formation of psychosis. In the course of the study, 137 patients with the first psychotic episode were screened.

Results. The most important diagnostic features of the prodromal period of psychosis (PPP) in patients with paranoid schizophrenia are: stereotyped thinking, social isolation, disorganization thinking disorders, passive-apathy social isolation, suspicion. The most informative prodromal symptoms of acute psychosis in patients with acute polymorphic psychotic disorder are: conceptual disorganization of thinking, bizzare thinking, social isolation, suspicion / persecutory ideas, diminished expression of emotions.

Conclusions. The obtained data allows to predict in patients with acute polymorphic psychotic disorder (APPP) less progressivity of psychotic disorder, its more favorable course and the best way out.
