IntroductionNon-psychotic mental disorders of organic register tend to have protracted progressive course, to respond poorly to treatment. Traditionally it is explained by features of cerebral-organic process. However, affective, behavioural and cognitive disturbances can be complicated by medico-social problems including treatment-related.ObjectiveTo analyse efficiency and stability of results of the therapy of organic mental disorders and propose approaches and means of their improvement.MethodsClinical-psychopathological, epidemiological, clinical-dynamic, catamnestic, experimental-psychological, medical statistics.ResultsThe most frequent causes of decompensations of organic mental disorders in patients with positive results of the therapy were analyzed. Sixty-four percent (58 patients) after 6 months showed partial recurrence of symptoms and after a year the condition practically returned to the initial one. However, only 12.22% (11 patients) passed recommended course of maintenance therapy to sufficiently full extent, 23.33% (21 persons) have discontinued it due to subjective causes during a month after discharge, about 2/3 of patients during the first two months of the therapy. Patients showed low indicators of therapeutic compliance, low level of therapeutic alliance, little familiarity with the illness and treatment and unrealistic expectations about prospects of the therapy. During insignificant difficulties in the therapy, it usually was discontinued and renewed during relapse of symptoms. A medico-social approach with support of psychotherapeutic and psycho-corrective work and information educational programs were developed.ConclusionProposed psychotherapeutic and educational approach heightens efficiency and stability of treatment and can serve a basis for further improvement of psychiatric, psychotherapeutic and medico-social assistance for patients with organic mental disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
