A total of 17 adolescents aged 15–17 years with onset of schizophrenia were studied. The potential for correcting affective disorders on the basis of involuntary self-control of psychoemotional status using bioacoustic correction (BAC) was investigated. This method is based on computerized transformation of the patient’s EEG into acoustic signals. Use of BAC led to marked and stable decreases in levels of depression and anxiety and their corresponding clinical manifestations. Improvements in the patients’ status were accompanied by reorganization of the EEG pattern, with decreases in the intensities of the β and δ indexes, increases in α-rhythm power, and decreases in interhemisphere asymmetry. These results led to the conclusion that BAC promotes the formation of new skills, state, and behavior on the basis of conditioned reflex reorganization of the structure of temporal links in the CNS. BAC is recommended as an effective and physiologically appropriate means of treating schizophrenia patients with anxious-depressive syndromes as part of complex therapy.
