Dispensary registration of patients with neuropsychiatric diseases and possible methods of reorganizing it

: On the basis of a clinical-statistical study of the population of psychic patients registered in the psychoneurological out-patient centers, a conclusion is drawn about the necessity of introducing special measures for the differential registration of such patients. Various types of observation to be conducted by the out-patient center over patients with border-line psychic disturbances, epilepsy and oligophrenia as well as with chronic mental diseases are proposed. The necessity of creating a unified set of regulations concerning the proper observation over mental out-patients is substantiated.
