[Psychogenic neurotic depression in women (psychopathological and psychosomatic aspects)]
Examination of 85 female inpatients with psychogenic neurotic mood disorders aged from 18 to 48 years has found the following depression syndrome variants: asthenic (42 patients), anxiety (14), asthenoanxiety (15), anxiety-melancholic (14). Hypothymia both mildly or moderately expressed and psychosomatic disorders as functional disturbances of reproductive, nervous and cardiovascular systems, were found. These disturbances were qualified as somatoform disorders. The most typical was autonomic dystonia syndrome. During the course of depression, somatization of psychic disorders was increasing, being most distinct in asthenic variants.
