[Long-term disability in schizophrenia].
Clinical and dynamic parameters of invalidity were studied in 105 schizophrenics with the disease duration more than 3 years. Of all the invalids registered in one of the Moscow dispensaries subjects with long-term invalidity account for 85%, and for 34% of the total number of registered schizophrenics. By social and occupational adaptation the patients may be divided into 2 groups: patients with stable disability (group 1) and patients with incomplete disability (group 2), these groups entering 49 and 56 schizophrenics, respectively. Occupational readaptation of the latter depended on endogenic-processual, social and personality factors. Parameters of invalidity were followed-up with the disease course. A differential approach to social-rehabilitation policy basing on real work capacity of the patients is validated.
