Borderline mental disorders in patients with prostate cancer

Sixty five patients, aged 48-87, with prostate cancer at different stages were studied. Borderline mental disorders were found in all the patients. in the majority of them, affective disorders in the form of anxiety-depressive (52,3%) and astheno-depressive (24,6%) syndromes were observed. Astheno-hypochondriacal and dysphoric syndromes were detected less frequently (in 15,4% and 7,7% of the cases, respectively)

Impaired Mental Age Self-Consciousness in Latent Schizophrenia

BACKGROUND: The topic of research was phenomenon of impaired age self-consciousness in non-psychotic latent schizophrenia patients defined. METHODS: The study sample comprised 141 patients with latent schizophrenia (pseudo neurotic (F21.3 - 64.5%, 91 patients), coenesthopathic (F20.8 - 25.5%, 36 patients) and pseudo psychopathic (F21.4 - 9.9%, 14 patients)) aged 16-31 (average 22.1 years old) in 2007-2019. A follow-up, experimental psychological and clinical study was conducted. RESULTS: The onset of impaired age self-identity was dominated by a radical drop of the subjective age in self-conscious mind of the patients accompanied by a tormented feeling of loss of self-dependence, role autonomy, helplessness, inability of decision making and to be answerable. Patients described this sudden condition as a loss of 'maturity feeling' and return to the juvenile perception of self. In a delusive and unclear manner, phrases such as 'I feel inferior to others as if a helpless child among adults', 'I feel as if my childhood is back' were uttered. Excessive worrying and enlivening of childhood memories were also included. This correlates to occurrence of humble and sometimes dependent/avoidant behavior, feeling of helplessness and fear with respect to caring for one self, rising subordination and suggestibility. CONCLUSIONS: This phenomenon of regress to earlier ontogenetic level of personal development reported as impaired age self-consciousness can thus be regarded as an obligate form of depersonalization in patients with latent schizophrenia

ИЗМЕНЕНИЕ КЛИНИЧЕСКОЙ КАРТИНЫ АЛКОГОЛЬНОЙ ЗАВИСИМОСТИ НА ФОНЕ ЛЕЧЕНИЯ НАЛТРЕКСОНОМ ДЛИТЕЛЬНОГО ДЕЙСТВИЯ В ИНЪЕКЦИОННОЙ ФОРМЕ: СЛУЧАЙ ИЗ ПРАКТИКИ

Alcoholism is a severe chronic mental illness, often subordinating all aspects of the patient’s life and quickly leading to social degradation. In recent years we observed a certain change in the attitude towards the classical therapeutic approach, which implies a complete abstention from alcohol intake. This was due to the research on pharmacological agents that can affect the brain reinforcement system, thereby reducing craving and decreasing the amount of alcohol consumed. This article describes a clinical case of changing the pattern of alcohol abuse during the use of opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone in the form of injections for the treatment of a patient with severe alcohol dependence, resistant to psychopharmacotherapy. The effectiveness and duration of the treatment course is determined primarily by patients’ motivation or by the interest of persons close to the patient.В данной статье описан клинический случай применения антагониста опиоидных рецепторов налтрексона пролонгированного действия в форме инъекций для лечения пациента с тяжелым случаем алкогольной зависимости, резистентной к психофармакотерапии. Эффективность и продолжительность курса лечения, определяется в первую очередь, мотивацией больных либо заинтересованностью близких пациенту лиц
