Abstract

The aim of the work is to study the world experience and views on the problem of pathoplastycs of mental illnesses.

In modern psychiatric clinics, the main source of pathoplastic impact are exogenous-intoxication and exogenous-organic effects. The clinical definition of the concept of pathoplastic impact is significantly expanding by some authors, breaking down the boundaries of such clinical phenomena as comorbidity, background, therapeutic pathomorphosis and others. As a result of this approach, erroneous conclusions are drawn about the presence of pathoplastic influence of personal, clinical and anamnestic, socio-demographic and cultural characteristics on the manifestations of most mental and behavioral disorders. Thus, it is impractical to expand the range of factors that referred to as factors of pathoplastic influence, when in fact they are not.

Conclusions. The problem of pathoplastycs of mental illnesses is the least studied aspect of modern clinic. The inconsistency or inappropriateness of this concept application does not contribute to its accurate assessment. Changes in the clinical manifestations of mental illnesses resulting from pathoplastic influences complicate nosological diagnostics, leading to therapeutic resistance, worsening prognosis and social maladjustment of patients. These circumstances emphasize the relevance of a comprehensive study on the phenomenon of pathoplastycs of mental illnesses/pathological conditions.
