Facial Dyskinesia

The 109 female survivors of a mental hospital population surveyed in 1965 for facial dyskinesia were followed up 16 years later. The 99 survivors with non-organic brain syndromes were analysed. Prevalence of dyskinesia had risen from 18.4% to 46.5% during follow-up and its development was significantly associated with neuroleptic dosage. Enlarged ventricles on brain scans were significantly associated with dyskinesia, cognitive impairment and neuroleptic prescribing.

Psychotic Features

SummaryA cohort of 120 patients, comprising all those who met the St Louis criteria for a diagnosis of schizophrenia, discharged from a mental hospital over a five-year period, were followed-up in the community after an interval of five to nine years; 105 were traced and 94 were alive. Of those, 66 were living in UK, out of hospital, and willing to be seen. Their mental states, and social functioning and circumstances were assessed by interview with the patients and those with whom they lived; 18% had recovered to the extent that they had no significant symptoms and appeared to function satisfactorily. More than 50% had definite psychotic features. No patients and few relatives sought a return to hospital care, but severe emotional, social, and financial difficulties were commonplace; 27% of the sample had no contact with medical or social services, a further 14% saw only community nurses, and 24% only their general practitioners. The findings emphasise the limitations of community services in dealing with the chronicity and severity of the impairments resulting from schizophrenic illness.

One Year

A ten-year follow-up study of 100 patients admitted consecutively to a mental hospital revealed the following information. The patients used the hospital beds for an average of one year and two months of the ten years, that is, about. one-eighth of the time. The co-operative schizophrenic patients could be kept out of hospital with proper maintenance therapy. Patients admitted with organic psychoses died after an average of one and three-quarter years. Of the ‘functional’ cases nearly a half were alive after ten years, 8 were dead (2 or 3 suicides) and the rest could not be traced. The patients had an average of 23 physicians but this large number does not appear to have harmed them. Nearly all patients had some drug therapy, the two most frequently prescribed categories being neuroleptics and antidepressants. About half the patients had occupational and work therapy. The condition of the 68 survivors was considered to be: ‘recovered’ or ‘much improved’ in 55 per cent; ‘moderately or slightly improved’ in 40 per cent and ‘unimproved or worse’ in 3 per cent. Their last known vocational status was ‘working or self-sufficient’ in 34 per cent, ‘dependent’ upon relatives or government support in 43 per cent and not known in 23 per cent.

The senile emotional disorders are now a major problem in mental hospital practice and their incidence increases with age. It is fortunate, however, that a better understanding and recognition of these affective disorders has, in most cases, led to early treatment and recovery.
