A total of 385 schizophrenic patients were studied (including 96 cases of an intially erroneous diagnosis of schizophrenia). It was possible to reveal early signs of schizophrenia in 84.3% of the patients, and in 50% -- to establish factors predisposing to exposure or which expose initial manifestations of the disease. Schizophrenia can be rightly diagnosed in the early periods if character peculiarities and the course of the initial period of the disease are taken into account, as well as the influence of such factors as heredity, age and periods which provoke the disease. It is stressed that the early forms of schizophrenia are often atypical, incomplete in their clinical picture where neurotic-like and psychopathic-like phenomena often predominate.
