The article focuses on the study of the neuropsychological features of the patients with schizophrenia, who have the signs of the disordered eating at the preclinical stage. The paper contains the data of the study of 60 female patients (aged 28 (25-33) years, median Me (25%-75%)) who have suffered from paranoid schizophrenia for up to 5 years. 23 of the female patients have had the disordered eating in the past medical history, i.e. during the examination the female patients reported that they had tried to loose weight, had taken laxatives and had trained intensively 5 years before they were diagnosed with schizophrenia. At the moment of examination the female patients have also had the signs of the disordered eating, moreover, the signs included only overeating and purging behavior. Besides, we have used the Kaplan-Meier method to determine the difference in the time of making clinical diagnoses (schizophrenia) depending on the absence and presence of the relevant signs of the disordered eating.
