This retrospective study evaluate the autolytic risk at the pacients with schizophrenia, presented in speciality literature at 10-40%.

Material and method:

We studied all the pacients with diagnosis of schizophrenia (DSM IV) who have been admitted in The Psychiatry Clinic II Tg.Mureş, between 01.05.2005-31.12.2005. We analysed the demographic criteria – especially the age and sex repartition, and also the clinical criteria – onset off illness, the corelation with an acute episode, the presence and type of the ideas, of concerns and of autolytic tentatives and also other depressive or psychotic symptoms.

Results:

12 (14.1%) from 85 patients with schizophrenia had autolytic ideas, 8 (9.41%) had autolytic concerns and 6 (7.05%) had autolytic tentatives. To exemplify I propose three cases.

Conclusions:

The patients with schizophrenia have an important autolytic risk, the tentatives are caused by an added depression or by imperative hallucinations and/or by delusions or by substances abuse.
