Application of the identity disorder questionnaire AIDA+LoPF in adolescents with affective pathology and schizotypal disorder

Abstract

Introduction To assess the difference in the personality functioning of adolescents with schizotypal disorder and affective disorders, we used the AIDA + LoPF questionnaires, which are well established as questionnaires for identifying identity disorders in adolescents. We hypothesized that adolescents with affective pathology are much more likely to have identity disorders than adolescents with schizotypal personality disorder. Clinical assessment of diseases was carried out by psychiatrists using ICD-10 Objectives Adolescents with affective disorders -10 (F31), schizotypal disorder adolescents – 11 (F21). Age 12-18 Methods AIDA+LoPF questioners by authors K. Goth & K. Schmeck, Russian version by M. Zvereva & S. Voronova & N. Zvereva Results The table presents statistical analysis data using the Mann-Whitney non-parametric test Table 1.

Adolescents with affective pathology are much more likely to have various types of identity disorders than adolescents with schizotypal disorder. To clarify this, a larger sample and a wider range of disorders are required Disclosure of Interest None Declared
