Abstract

Age peculiarities of the comorbidity of the phobic syndrome with other psychopathological formations have been studied on the basis of clinical and follow-up examination of 314 patients, 257 male, 57 female, aged 15-17 years old, with phobic disorders diagnosed according to ICD-10 criteria. Simple phobias found in 21% of patients existed as an isolated phenomenon displaying no comorbidity. Asthenic syndrome was most frequently concomitant with phobias (293 patients); personality anomalies were found in 167 patients including 31 with personality disorders; affective syndrome was observed in 61 patients and other ones were noticeably rare. Within the structure of the acute states, phobias appear as a schizophrenic attack or reactive symptoms correlating with the basic syndrome by the time of onset, intensity and content. Age differences of the phobic and related psychopathological syndromes are revealed.
