Abstract
Clinico-epidemiological and repeated catamnestic investigations were p erformed in juveniles and individuals of young age (14-26 year old) in relation to prevalence, structure and dynamics of premorbid neurologi cal disorders and typical personality reactions. Observations were car ried out every 4 years. Results of analysis testified the development of borderline mental disorders in one third of teenagers with preneuro tic and pronounced characterological reactions. That permitted to cons ider these deviations as ''risk factors'' of the appearance of both ne uroses and psychopathies.
