CLINICAL DYNAMIC FEATURES OF RECURRENCE IN PATIENTS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA USING NPS
The paper presents an analysis of 30 schizophrenic patients in whom the course of the underlying disease was complicated by the use of NPS (main group), as well as 30 patients with schizophrenia who do not use psychoactive substances (control group). All patients underwent inpatient treatment at the KGP "Mental Health Center" in Almaty. The aim of the work was to study the clinical and dynamic characteristics of relapses in patients with schizophrenia complicated by the use of NPS. The main research method was clinical-psychopathological and clinical-follow-up method using the scale of positive and negative symptoms (PANSS). The obtained results were subjected to statistical processing (analysis of arbitrary conjugate tables using the χ2 test, the method of parametric statistics, Pearson's correlation test with Yates correction. There was also a rapid change in the syndromic structure of psychosis and the dominance of true verbal hallucinations in the clinical picture in the form of a hallucinatory monologue of more often unpleasant content, followed by imperative hallucinations in the future. antipsychotic therapy was maintained both at the time of discharge and at the stage of outpatient follow-up of the patient, showing sufficient resistance.
