[Sensory and psychoemotional productivity in the type I diabetes mellitus]
Abstract:
Depressive psychosis with anxiety or without it is the most spread disorder among the patients with diabetes mellitus. According to our investigations the depression was found in 36.6% of cases of patients with the I type diabetes mellitus which affects negatively their mental working ability. Based on the mentioned above we aimed to study a sensory and psychoemotional productivity of patients with the type I diabetes mellitus for their further purposeful treatment. Thirty patients with the type I diabetes mellitus were observed and divided into two groups -- 19 -- without and 11 with a depression. Sensor and motor reaction was studied by means of Landolt's rings in computerized mode. A deterioration of the patients' mental working ability while resolving the simple sensor and motor task is expressed as the increased quantity of missed reactions on the light stimulus and chaotic character of the reaction time histograms that is stipulated by the diminished ability to concentrate attention be carrying out a monotonous work. Psychoemotional test has proved our conclusion drawn by means of sensor-motor task, but the analysis of the reaction time histograms allows suggesting that given contingent of patients fulfill the task of the various conditions of resolving easier then the monotonous one.
