Abstract

Study Objective: To track the dynamics of an organic personality disorder for 5 years after call-up.

Study Design: Longitudinal study.

Materials and Methods. The study had two stages. Stage one was the analysis of information on conscripts who were undergoing a medical examination and were condemned as unserviceable or partially suitable for conscription. We examined 52 conscripts with an organic personality disorder with the mean age of 19.02 ± 1.01 years old. We assessed their mental status, mental disorder intensity, and degree of social adaptation; also, an experimental psychological questionnaire for anamnestic study of conscripts and Conscript Questionnaire were completed. Stage two was a clinical and follow-up (for 5 years) examination of patients. A factorial analysis of results was performed in 2, 3, 4, 5 years after the first examination. Six subjects withdrew from stage two because their place of residence changed or because they did not want to further participate in the study.

Study Results. The clinical presentation of the disorder was more complicated in more than 60% cases. The factorial analysis revealed the most stable rigid link, i. e., a combination of clinical symptoms to be targeted by the therapy in order to more drastically unravel the stable pathological system of disorder manifestations. The rigid link of the system passes all first factors in examinations conducted and characterises the highest proportion of cases vs. total variance: inclination to impulsive response with poor control over behaviour, uptown tastes, decreased social adaptation and close symptoms in the form of unstable inner emotional well-being or impaired affective volitional regulation. At year four of the study, a flexible link appears: addictions, e. g., alcohol and substance abuse, and unskilled labour. At year five, further aggravation of psychopathy-like state was observed. We have identified the flexible links of the system, which can be manipulated in order to attempt to gradually negate the stable pathological condition; the quality of manipulations is worse since elimination of one relation between symptoms brings about another one, but with a lower number of observations vs total variance.

Conclusion. This study highlights the need in further observation, a more drastic interference (therapeutic, psychocorrective, social and rehabilitative) with conscripts who were condemned as unserviceable or partially suitable for conscription, in order to avoid a complicated mental pathology.
