[The clinical characteristics of endogenous mental diseases with paroxysm-like disorders].
Paroxysmal-like disorders (PLD) were observed in 11 patients with manic-depressive psychosis and in 34 ones with shift-like progredient schizophrenia. 8 variations of the fits were described by the author earlier and included the states from vegetative fits to complex psychotic ones with manifestations of Kandinsky-Clerambault syndrome. Clinical pattern of endogenous psychoses was characterized by considerable presence of affective disorders (both hypomanic and depressive), moreover depressive disturbances were observed more frequently. Debut of PLD was mentioned either before depressions' or in their structure: The appearance of psychotic symptoms in structure of affective phases does not change the character of paroxysmal-like states. It was supposed that endogenous diseases with PLD are the special variant of psychoses.
