The DSM-III concepts of schizophrenic disorder and schizophreniform disorder. A clinical and prognostic evaluation.

Consecutive new patients presenting at a Nigerian psychiatric unit over a 14-month period and fulfilling the DSM-III criteria for schizophreniform disorder, (active) schizophrenia and residual schizophrenia were studied. There were no differences between the three groups with respect to background social data. The schizophreniform patients had a lower incidence of previous psychotic episodes. There were no differences between the first two groups with respect to the distribution of PSE symptoms and signs, Schneider's First Rank Symptoms, or severity of psychopathology. Initial clinical outcome, and longer-term clinical and social outcome, assessed 25-38 months after index presentation, was best in the schizophreniform patients and worst in the patients with residual schizophrenia. The findings are consistent with schizophreniform disorder lying on a spectrum of schizophrenic disorders. They also highlight inadequacies in mental health services in Nigeria and other developing countries.[1]
