Features of nicotinism in patients with schizophrenia
Based on a survey of 60 patients with schizophrenia and 25 patients with epilepsy, the structure of nicotinism is described; the motivating components of smoking are analyzed. Correlations were found between an increase in smoking intensity and an increase in psychotic anxiety, as well as the appearance of symptoms of an neuroleptic syndrome (in particular, akathisia). The structure of nicotinism in patients with schizophrenic defect was studied. Cigarette addiction in this group reflects the mechanism of schizophrenic dissolution of the psyche and can be considered as an integral part of painful disorders of the volitional process.
