Abstract

RESULTS of clinico-psychopathological and clinico-catamnestic studies are presented based on the examination of 174 patients with affective disorders that manifested themselves at the age of 15-25 years. The main psychopathological features of juvenile phase-affective conditions are described (subtle vital manifestations of the thymic component, polymodality of the affect with simultaneous presentation of two varieties of affective disorders, instability of the affect changing within a single phase, high occurrence of overvalued ideas reflecting specific emotions of the juvenile age with concomitant manifestations of pubertal psychological crisis underlain by common pathogenetic mechanisms). High frequency of mixed affective conditions and the predominance of the bipolar type of the disease are emphasized, clinical features of mono- and bipolar pathology are described. It is concluded that a special algorithm of psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic therapy adapted to the juvenile age is needed for the treatment of the above disorders.
