On the basis of published data on the frequent incidence of psychiatric disorders in demyelinating diseases, the paper report the case of a 22 year old patient who was brought to the Authors' attention with a schizophrenia-type disorder, with prevalently negative symptoms, and suffering from the advanced stages of a demyelinating pathology. Anamnestic and clinical characteristics reported by other Authors were also evident in this patient: the absence of familiarity for schizophrenic disorders, the absence of earlier psychiatric pathologies, the constant progress of psychosis and limited response to pharmacological therapy.

[Psychopathological characteristics of psychiatric disturbances in the elderly].

A series of studies have focused on the problem of identifying and defining the specific characteristics of senile psychiatric pathology with greater precision. The aim of the present study was to examine symptomatological aspects of a group of psychiatric patients divided into different age ranges. The possible presence of psychopathologically defined (e.g. phobia, obsession, convulsive symptoms, hallucinations, deliria) and more aspecific symptoms (e.g. those which are generically involutive, confusion, anxiety, depression, insomnia, suicide attempts) was assessed in a group of 2018 psychiatric out-patients. It was found that senile psychiatric pathology presents a symptomatology which is generally aspecific and not clearly defined, and that there are peculiarities which differentiate it from that in the adult.
