MECHANISMS PERSONAL RESPONSE TO THE DISEASE OF THE PATIENTS WITH DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS
By means of clinical and experimental psychological methods (involving methods for psychological diagnostics of attitude to the disease), there was conducted a survey of 67 patients with endogenous depression with consequence of TBI, endogenous depressive disorders and the combination of endogenous depression with consequence to TBI. In the presence of significant resemblance according to criteria of depressions of ICD-10, differing by their pathogeny, there were also determined significant differences, according to the results of experimental psychological research. The data shows that patients with depressive disorders in the later period of TBI save their adaptational mechanisms better, which gives the opportunity for a successful psychocorrectional and rehabilitational work in this group of patients.
