Pfropfschizophrenia

Pfropfschizophrenia (German: Pfropfschizophrenia, from Pfropfung - “vaccination” and Schizophrenia - “schizophrenia”) is a mental disorder characterized by a combination of symptoms of oligophrenia and schizophrenia.

The term “pfropschizophrenia” was introduced in 1911 by the German psychiatrist G. Gatta to refer to cases of “vaccinated” schizophrenia, when the delusional ideas of one person are, as it were, “grafted” into another person. This usually happens in closed groups when a patient with schizophrenia is in close contact with a mentally disabled person.

Pfropschizophrenia is characterized by a combination of signs of dementia (oligophrenia) and schizophrenia. Thinking disorders, emotional-volitional disorders, and delusional ideas are noted. In this case, an intellectual defect often precedes the development of psychotic symptoms.

Thus, schizophrenia is a special form of endogenous mental illness that occurs against the background of oligophrenia under the influence of a schizophrenic patient. This term is currently practically not used; it has been replaced by the concepts of “schizophrenia” and “oligophrenia”.

Psorolfshizhrenia is a mental illness characterized by disturbances in thinking, behavior and emotions. This disease can also lead to social and occupational problems. In order to prevent the development of psoriasis, it is necessary to pay attention to risk factors, such as stressful situations, alcohol and drug use, as well as genetic predisposition.

Psorolffeshina can manifest itself differently in different people. Some people experience hallucinations and delusions that can lead to aggression and violence. Others suffer from depression and anxiety, which can significantly impact their quality of life. Each case of psorolffa can be individual. In severe cases, treatment may include medication and psychotherapy.

It is important to understand that psoroffensis is not something to be afraid of.
