[Procedural and developmental aspects of impulse-control disorders in child and adolescent schizophrenia].

200 schizophrenic patients (130 men, 70 women), which had fallen ill at the age of 4-25 years were examined in outpatient clinic. Either on the separate stages of the disease or during all its course the patients had the following impuls-control disorders: of eating--14 patients (7.0%), sexual drive--56 cases (28.0%), self-preservation--37 (18.5%), alcoholism--76 (38.0%), dromomania--38 (19.0%), pyromania--2 (1.0%), kleptomania--4 (2.0%). By the mechanisms of the disorders' development there were impulsive, obsessive and compulsive ones. The author also qualified the morbid impuls-control disorders (87 patients--43.5%) and the evolutive ones (61-30.5%). Morbid signs were considered in terms of the comorbid phenomena combined with the productive and negative symptoms of basic disease. Evolutive manifestations are deviations of ontogenesis which didn't achieve a pathologic form.
