Abstract
The aim of the present research was to study neuropsychological features of combined obsessive-compulsive and catatonic disorders in sc hizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Material and methods: 60 patients with obsessive-compulsive and catatonic symptoms were examined. Neuropsychological examination was performed by the use of traditional set of tests (Luria, 1969) [1].
Results: 2 groups of patients with obsessive-compulsive and catatonic symptoms in schizophrenia spectrum disorders are differentiated: 1) OCD with the phenomena of obsessional slowness — obsessive-compulsive and catatonic symptoms develop in the consistent symptom complex; 2) OCD with the phenomena of soft catatonia is an independent manifestation of obsessive-compulsive and catatonic symptoms. The deficit of higher mental functions appeared as difficulties in voluntary regulation of behavior and praxis, intellect dysfunction and a decrease in neurodynamic parameters of mental activity. Severe dysfunction was found in patients with OCD with soft catatonia.
