About some features of acute psychotic states in adolescents hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital
The aim of the study was to analyze a number of parameters that characterize the psychopathological features of psychotic states in adolescent boys and girls hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital, to identify possible differences. Clinical-dynamic and mathematical-statistical methods were used to study data from patients aged 14-17 years with acute psychotic conditions according to ICD-10, who were admitted to the Sukhareva SPC PZDP during the calendar year, which accounted for 5.2 % of all adolescents hospitalized in 2019. Among them, the ratio of boys and girls was 1:1.1. It turned out that psychotic disorders in girls most often develop already in 14-15 years, in boys - in 16-17, in premorbid boys the schizoid radical prevailed - 52.5 %, in second place - an unstable radical - 32.5 %, in girls the sensitive (30.8 %) and schizoid (28.2 %) traits were more often determined. The differences by sex in relation to the hereditary burden, the duration of the onset of an acute psychotic state, and hallucinatory-delusional disorders were also determined.
