Abstract

The article deals with the results of investigation of psychic disturbances in 7 patients with diabetes mellitus. Psychic dysfunctions which are important for forensic psychiatric practice (depressions, transitory psychotic episodes at the background of hyperglycemia and pathologic states with consciousness disturbance, psychomotor excitement and incorrect behaviour in hypoglycemic states) were analysed. Characteristics were noted which contributed to diagnosing in patients with diabetes mellitus, the states of temporary morbid mental disorder and choosing correct expert conclusion in relation to persons who committed indictable actions.
