The representative group included 21 patients with a defned diagnosis, who were divided into 2 groups according to gender: 11 men entered the frst group, the second group included 10 women. During studying there was used a katamnestic method, and also evaluation of positive and negative symptoms of patients, severity of the catatonic syndrome and its treatment. The work identifed the major differences in the course of the disease in the studied groups. Women are characterized with a greater manifestation of catatonic symptoms and affective symptoms. A group of men is characterized with a prolonged course of symptoms and the prevalence of catatonic hallucinatory-delusional symptoms and emotional flattening. Treatment of patients in both groups was carried out with the help of antipsychotic medication and electroconvulsive therapy.
