As a result of structural-dynamic psychopathological analysis of mental states in 42 patients with slow-progressive schizophrenia in which the hypochondriac signs prevaled, the secondary reactive personality neurotic disorders were revealed. These were developed as a response to pronounced psychic traumatizing impact of the schizophrenic neurose-like symptoms: vital fear of death, cranial and cardiac senestoalgias, somato-autonomic disorders in hypochondric raptus and raptoid states.
