Introduction

schizoaffective disorder is a nosographic entity

characterized by a combination of symptoms of schizophrenia with

mood episodes. The fact that its diagnosis is difficult, and often

oscillates between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder raises the

problem of its care and the outcome of patients who suffers from

it.

Objective

To evaluate the quality of life of treated patients with

schizoaffective disorder.

Materials and methods

This is a cross-sectional study realized at

the psychiatric consultation of Mahdia hospital during a 6month

period. Data were collected from patients and from their medical

records using a predefined questionnaire.

Results

A total of 52 patients were included, the average age was

38 years. The majority of patients (63.5%) were unemployed. The

use of psychoactive substances was noted in 63.5% of patients. Mul-

tiple linear regression analysis allowed us to find that 12 factors

were more significantly associated with impaired quality of life

which were, in descending order of importance: the EAS score > 39,

the EGF score

70, the null or partial adherence, the presence of

side effects seriously affecting daily activity, the depressive sub-

type, the lack of employment, the socio-economic level, the lack

of stable budgetary resources, an age > 60years, the widowed and

divorced marital status, the PANSS score (

45) and negative sym-

ptomatology (PANSS).

Conclusion

The diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder has a triple

relevance: clinical, prognostic and therapeutic. Identifying a

schizoaffective disorder and the risk factors that may affect the

quality of life provides a significant practical impact for the patient’s

benefit.

Introduction

The schizoaffective disorder is multifactorial. Sev-

eral factors almost unquestioned, even indisputable, participate in

the episodes’ decompensation and affect various fields: biological,

pharmacological or neurobiochemical.

Objectives

Draw up the sociodemographic and clinical profile of

patients treated for schizoaffective disorder and determine the role

of life events in the onset of the disorder.

Methods

This is a retrospective study of 52 patients hospitalized

in the psychiatric department of Mahdia diagnosed with schizoaf-

fective disorder according to DSM-IV-TR during the period from

January 2014 until June 2014. The information was collected using

a preset sheet with 35 items.

Results

A total of 52 records was gathered. The average age was

38 years. The sample was predominantly male, of rural origin in

61.5% of cases. The level of education was low in 59.6% of cases.

More than half werewithout profession and single in 46.2% of cases.

The mean age at onset of the disorder was 25.2 years. The presence

of life events preceding the onset of the disorder was noted in 22

patients, that to say, 42.3% of the sample. Family and emotional

events were most frequently encountered with respective rates of

48.2 and 24.7%, followed by the professional events (20%) and social

ones (6%).

Conclusion

Life events are due to chance but also to the environ-

ment. The complexity of the “event” concept was again underlined

in a new perspective, breaking social rhythms.

Introduction

Despite the assumption that the EEG parameters in

schizophrenia may be predictive for the treatment outcome, there

are only a small number of such studies present. We hypothesised

that the characteristics of the changes in EEG rhythms during cogni-

tive loadmight differ in the first episode of psychosis and remission

being dependent on the stage of the illness.

Methods

The EEG rhyths spectral power (SP) in the resting state

and their changes during the performance of spatial logical task

in 25 first-episode psychosis patients (FEP) and same patients in

remission (REM) after 6–18 months were analysed. Control group

included healthy subjects matched with patient group by gender,

age and years of education.

Results

The resting state SP values did not differ in FEP and

REM. When performing a task, FEP theta SP was decreased

compared to the resting state values in F7, F8, P3, T6 sites

(

P

< 0.05), while gamma2 SP was increased in Fz (

P

< 0.001) and

Pz (

P

< 0.01). REM theta, alpha, and beta1 SP was decreased in

the same way as in norm in all sites (

P

< 0.05). Gamma2 SP

increase was found in sites Fp1, F8, Fz (

P

< 0.05). FEP theta and

beta1 SP changes during cognitive load positively correlated with

the PANSS scales (delusions, thought disorders, hallucinations).

REM did not have significant correlations between SP and PANSS

parameters.

Conclusions

The analysed REM EEG characteristics differ less

from the norm than the FEP. Based on the results, the performance

of the task is related to the stage of the illness.

This work is presenting partial preliminary outcomes of our study

focused on evaluating the levels of testosterone in psychotic

patients and its relationship to aggressive behavior.

Our study group included 10 male patients (from planned 20), with

history of aggressive behavior at baseline and 24 male patients

(from planned 40), without history of aggressive behavior. Non-

aggressive patients were considered as control group. All included

patients were hospitalized in psychiatric hospital Hronovce with

diagnose of psychotic disorder. Levels of testosterone were mea-

sured by laboratory evaluation. Aggressive behavior was assessed

byHCR scale, whichwas linkedwith every TSHevaluation. The level

of testosterone was measured in all subjects at the baseline and in
