Abstract
Treatment resistance is a persistent neurochemical condition characterized by the presence of the «hybrid», combined pathological and drug metabolism. The difficulties in management and prevention of resistance relate to the lack of understanding of neurochemical changes occurring in the neuronal networks during development of the higher mental functions. Within the concept of the species-preserving behavior development neurochemically associated with the activity of monoaminergic systems in determined pathways and local neuronal networks with the co-transimitterts’ modulation of functions, pharmacodynamics of psychotropic drugs are discussed. The ability of psychotropic drugs to alter the mental state is determined by rapid and slow effects associated with the changes in monoaminergic processes at all levels of mediation (the synapses, the activity of neurons, local neuronal networks). It is emphasized that divergent neurochemical changes and the heterogeneity of the resistance development after treatment with agonists (antidepressants, anxiolytics, etc.) and antagonists (antipsychotics) determine the multiplicity of pharmacological approaches to the patients’ therapy. Accordingly, methodological aspects of resistance management by so-called «opposite therapy», «sensitization» and combination treatment strategies depending on the medications pharmacodynamics are considered.

Abstract
The article based on systemic approach to family therapy presents the isomorphism of relationship structure in the family of identified patient and multiprofessional teаm of caring service professionals. Mental health service is organized to help the patient. Its effectiveness is determined by the improvement of the patient undergoing treatment and rehabilitation, thereby increasing the adaptive capacity of the patient and his return to society. Successful social integration of the patient largely depends on the level of his social competence. The study includes 23 women and 21 men aged from 18 to 30 participating in the biopsychosocial rehabilitation program for at least 12 months. Patients from the families, which took part in the psychotherapeutic work, showed an increase of social competence with Social Quotient (SQ) escalation for more than 15% in three months and more than 32% in 12 months after the start of the rehabilitation program compared to the baseline. The results of the work allow formulating recommendations for carrying out the effective program which includes psychotherapeutic interventions, sociotherapeutic events, as well as the appropriate balance of the various forms of specialized medical care, depending on the current stage of mental disorders. This is currently considered to be а personalized medicine.

Abstract
This paper is devoted to some of the infrastructural problems of neuroinformatics in the context of existing analog-to-digital systems and high-performance solutions. We surveyed results and analyzed some of the existing methods required in various experiments. Special attention was devoted to the problem of the human brain simulation, based on a combination of digital and analog subsystems. Paper shows various approaches to modeling of interactions between brain neurons and explores different algorithms. We consider different applications of cloud solutions to neuroinformatics problems. Paper highlights areas of particular interest such as working with external storage, distributed data processing and visualization of acquired results. For each of them we survey existing options for creating cloud-based distributed computing solutions that can solve important challenges faced by researchers in their work.

Abstract
A critical analysis of the concept of child neuropathy syndrome is submitted, and also described the difficulties of its diagnosis in the initial stages of formation. The existing approaches to understand this disorder are analyzed. Today neuropathy in child psychiatry is most often interpreted as one of of abnormal development forms - as dysontogenesis of the nervous system, characterized by increased excitability combined with increased exhaustion. Diagnostic difficulties are caused by the fact that there is no common opinion at the understanding of neuropathy, its criteria and dynamics. Moreover, clinical-psychopathological differences, associated with the peculiarities of etiopathogenesis require clarification. Its relationship with such evolutionary dynamic factor as ontogenetic is not sufficiently clear.

Abstract
The relationship between bipolar affective disorders (BAD) and epilepsy have an obvious comorbidity, similar theoretical bases of pathogenesis and treatment approaches. In both diseases, there is a high risk of suicide without treatment, the frequency of episodes of BAD increases, and the lucid intervals become shorter, the progression of the disease is similar to one as for epilepsy. Discusses general pathophysiological mechanisms of epilepsy and BAD and treatment of affective disorders of the bipolar spectrum in patients with epilepsy.

Abstract
Clinical heterogeneity of tremor in Parkinson’s disease suggests a differentiated approach in choosing a correction therapy for motor defects. The article focuses on a variety of patterns of antiparkinsonian drug administration depending on the type and duration of tremor in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Reliable data on efficiency and advisability of the chosen therapy in the studied groups are provided. Findings: Most patients noted improvement - reduced tremor, improved movements - during the received therapy. The studied antiparkinsonian drugs reduce rest tremor, with the effect of levodopa being equivalent to that of dopamine agonists, however, the efficacy of dopamine agonists decreases, and that of levodopa increases, with age. The lowest efficiency in rest tremor was demonstrated by PK-Merz. In treatment of posturo-kinetic tremor cholinolytics proved more potent than in groups 1 and 2. Where antiparkinsonian drugs are not efficient enough in patients with posturo-kinetic tremor, a combined use of basic therapy and other antitremor drugs may be considered, such as propranolol, topamaks, primidon, etc.

Abstract
The clinical-epidemiological study was carried on patients of urban populationwith neuroses who were traced to the prospective follow-up for 15 years.497 patients with neurotic disorders (116 men and 381 women) have been surveyed. The clinical, epidemiological and statistical methods of study have been used. The results of the study are statistically reliable. Catamnesis research has revealed options for outcomes of neurotic disorders depending on flow type of disease. Intensive index of neurotic personality development for the urban population was 0.5 per 1 000 population older than 16 years. The significance of debut syndrome of neurotic disorders was analysed for the formation of neurotic personality development.

Abstract
In order to identify the ethnic and age and sex characteristics of psychosomatic disorders in schoolchildren living in the southern (Abakan) and central (Krasnoyarsk) Siberian regions, surveyed 1564 students aged 12-17 (boys and girls), of which 331 Khakass people and 1233 - Russian nationality. Comparative analysis of the figures obtained by the survey, carried out by age, gender and ethnicity. It was established that syncope, asthenic syndrome and panic disorder is much more common in Russian students compared to the Khakas. At the same time, all kinds of psychosomatic disorders are recorded more often in Russian girls than Khakass; boys no significant differences according to ethnicity have been identified. Among the pupils of Russian nationality all clinical variants of psychosomatic disorders were significantly more common in girls than in boys, and usually in the older age group (15-17 years) than in younger (12-14 years). The manifestations of panic attacks in the past history of 3/4 of the surveyed were associated with the presence of autonomic dysfunction syndrome, and more - sympathicotonic type.

Abstract
Antipsychotics are the main pharmaceutical agents in treatment of schizophrenia and other mental disorders. According to literature data up to 60% of patients with schizophrenia have antipsychotic-induced metabolic disturbances. The main objective of pharmacogenetic studies is search for predictors of the response to therapy and definition of likelihood of development of undesirable phenomena. The main findings in the field of pharmacogenetics of metabolic disturbances were analysed. Recently, significant progress in the field of pharmacogenetic research was made which confirmed results of the previous studies and revealed new candidate genes. Ambiguous results in pharmacogenetic studies may be a reflection of complexity of pathogenesis of antipsychotic-induced weight gain, an influence of a set of epigenetic factors on mechanisms of its development. All this complicates design of the studies directed at identification of the candidate genes participating in realization of metabolic disturbances during intake of neuroleptics. Improvement of pharmacogenetic studies will provide the best understanding of how these genes are associated with antipsychotic-induced metabolic disturbances. Inclusion of pharmacogenetic approach in clinical guidelines is necessary, but now it is complicated that is associated mainly with the insufficient level of validity of the genetic markers studied and their ethnic heterogeneity. Use of pharmacogenetic testing improves rational therapy and contributes to the most efficient and safe therapy.

Abstract
The term «MCI» (MCI) denote the condition characterized by disturbance, at least one of the characteristics of cognitive sphere, it does not lead to the violation of autonomy in daily life, so it created the modern concept of mild cognitive decline «mild cognitive impairment» (MCI) identificeret category of patients with intermediate stage between normal age and dementia. In patients with light cognitive disorder (MCI) restoration and improvement of intellectual abilities significantly faster and was more pronounced in the group treated with gliatilin. Gliatilin application in complex therapy of discirculatory encephalopathy improves locomotor, neural, and cognitive function. The drug is well tolerated, does not cause undesirable effects, which is very important when treating patients of advanced age.

Abstract
Features of creative method A.P. Chekhov found its reflection in a bizzare combination of literary character's personal chracteristics (a demonstrative and padantic personality), polymorphic clinical syndromes (a hypochondriac, depressive, somatic disease of uncertain origin), intricate life collisions (actually a lack of family, an excessively warm attitude of the foster daughter and trustee). Differential diagnostics of both personal chracteristics of the character, and had probabilistic and debatable nature.
