The socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of patients of the Kazakh ethnic group suffering from paranoid schizophrenia were studied in order to increase the efficiency of providing them with specialized psychiatric care in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The analysis of social and demographic characteristics of the examined group of 1200 patients of the Kazakh population with a clinically verified diagnosis: “Paranoid schizophrenia” (F20.0) in the period from 2021 to 2023 showed that these were mainly people of average working age (31-50 years – 55.59%), a significant part of whom, despite a fairly good level of education, were socially maladapted in family and household terms, more than 80% of them had a disability due to mental illness, which it may indicate the severity of the underlying mental disorder. The analysis of clinical characteristics (according to the PANSS scale) showed that in patients with a continuous type of paranoid schizophrenia, the severity of mental disorders (93.06 points) significantly exceeded the same indicator in patients with an episodic type of the disease (76.87 points), mainly due to the difference in the scale of general psychopathological symptoms. It is established that for people of the Kazakh ethnic group suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, concomitant narcological pathology is not characteristic.
