Clinical and dynamic features of intoxication psychoses caused by the use of modern synthetic psychoactive substances

Objective: to analyze scientific publications dedicated to modern aspects of etiology, pathogenesis, development, clinical manifestations of psychotic states developed as a result of use of modern synthetic psychoactive substances (PAS). Results and Discussion. The analysis of literature and own data on the problem of the development of schizophreniform psychoses against the background of the use of new synthetic psychoactive substances is presented. The current situation, connected with the use of various psychoactive substances, has developed in recent years in the world and in Russia and is characterized by a pronounced cyclic distribution of narcotic drugs. The problem of the use of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in society is characterized by the appearance and rather rapid spread of new synthetic psychoactive substances with peculiar clinical effects. Not only similarity of the clinical picture of psychotic disorders caused by the use of modern synthetic psychostimulants and cannabinoids is noted, but also the peculiarities of the course of these psychotic-related ones. The necessity of revealing the differential-diagnostic criteria of psychoses required for the treatment of violations is substantiated, since there is no parallel between the influence of the psychoactive substance and the dynamics of the psychotic disorder, which complicates the etiological diagnosis of psychosis in the practice of psychiatrists.
