Prognostic criteria for the outcome of the first psychotic episode

Based on the examination of 177 patients with a first psychotic episode (F20 — 53 individuals; F23 — 96 people and F25 — 28 people) and dividing them according to the criterion of response to therapy into two comparison groups (a group with symptomatic remission and a group with “residual” symptoms), a frequency analysis of their clinical and psychopathological, pathopsychological and neuropsychological characteristics and diagnostic markers of positive and negative prognosis of the outcome of the first psychotic episode were determined. It has been established that a positive prognosis of the outcome is determined, first of all, by clinical and anamnestic and pathopsychological features, while a negative prognosis is indicated by clinical and anamnestic and clinical and psychopathological features.
