“…[68][69][70] Also, there was limited representation of elderly subjects, and subjects who evidenced substantial clinical change or incident tardive dyskinesias during follow-up (Table 4). Although relatively few of our patients were tested initially very early in the course of their illness, 2 recent studies of first-break schizophrenia showed no significant cognitive decline during the first several years of illness.…”

“…Toutefois, dépistage et diagnostic ne sont pas sans difficultés, car : les déficits cognitifs peuvent diminuer l'insight des patients, aussi bien concernant la pathologie psychiatrique que somatique ; les personnes souffrant de schizophrénie peuvent signaler moins de symptômes, parce que le trouble augmente parfois la tolérance à la douleur et parce que les neuroleptiques peuvent diminuer la sensibilité à la douleur ; la non-compliance aux traitements prescrits pour les pathologies somatiques peut être élevée, entre autres causes… [9].…”

RésuméLe nombre de patients âgés souffrant d'une schizophrénie chronique augmente ; il devrait doubler dans les vingt prochaines années. Avec l'âge avancé, les symptômes positifs de schizophrénie s'amenuisent et une majorité de patients souffrent surtout de symptômes négatifs et de déficits cognitifs. La dépression et les comorbidités somatiques sont également fréquentes. L'amélioration de la qualité des soins repose sur la prise en compte par les psychiatres des particularités diagnostiques et de prise en charge de ces patients. AbstractThe number of older people with chronic schizophrenia increases and is expected to double over the next two decades. Along with a reduction in positive schizophrenic symptoms Page 2 of 12 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 with increasing age, a majority suffers from negative symptoms and cognitive deficits.Depression and co-morbid medical problems are also frequent. These complex clinical and service needs have to be the focus of interest of psychiatrists to improve quality of care.

“…A picture of the needs and clinical presentation of elderly people with schizophrenia living in the community is beginning to emerge although gaps in our knowledge remain (Rodriguez-Ferrera and Vassilas, 1998;Cohen et al, 2000). In the past, these patients constituted a large proportion of the long-stay populations of the old psychiatric hospitals (Johnstone et al, 1981) but now they live increasingly in the community.…”
