The article presents the results of the study of the clinical and psychopathological manifestations of PPE and their relationship with the indicators of recovery based on the results of treatment. Were examined 177 patients with PPE: 53 with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (F20), 96 with a diagnosis of acute polymorphic psychotic disorder (F23) and 28 with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder (F25). It was determined that at F20, a more negative forecast is determined regarding exit and recovery. Negative criteria for the prognosis of recovery in PPE are the presence of certain negative symptoms in the structure of psychopathological symptoms and refusal to cooperate. A positive prognosis for recovery is conditioned, first of all, by the absence of negative symptoms, in particular, thinking disorders, manifestations of social avoidance and emotional alienation.
