Extract

This investigation attempts to determine what effect a sub-convulsive dose of triazol had on the individual patient as compared with a convulsive dose, and in addition to study and compare the reactions of a group of deteriorated schizophrenic patients with those of a heterogeneous group composed of mental disorders not schizophrenic. There were 12 patients in each group. The first group of schizophrenic patients was made up of individuals who showed marked emotional deterioration, with either a poverty of affective response or a definitely inappropriate affect. All these patients had had their mental disorder for many years. The average duration of the psychosis in the schizophrenic group was 9 years, and the average age of the group was 31 years. The heterogeneous group was composed of three patients classified as manic-depressive in the depressed phase, two depressed patients in a stuporous condition, three psychoneurotic patients with chronic anxiety states, and four with chronic obsessive states. The average age of the heterogeneous group was 33 years.
