ANALYSIS OF MEDICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE COURSE OF DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS IN INVOLUTIONAL AGE
Keywords:
depression, suicide, aggressive disorders, suicidal behavior.Abstract
In the study, a decrease in mortality and an increase in life expectancy led to a change in the age structure of the population: the number of elderly and senile persons increased. This caused an absolute increase in the number of all late-age psychoses, but the proportion of age-related psychoses did not increase. It is generally accepted to divide mental diseases of late age into ‘organic’, i.e. arising on the basis of a certain morphological, mainly destructive, process and leading to various forms of dementia, and ‘functional’, i.e. not possessing a similar anatomical substrate, reversible and, as a rule, not leading to gross dementia. However, clinical and morphological studies have shown the closeness, if not all, then part of the so-called involutional psychoses to endogenous ones. In functional processes, there is no persistent organic decrease in the level of mental activity and morphological cerebral changes.
