[Psycho-autonomic correlations in neurocirculatory asthenia in young age]

As many as 91 patients aged 17-25 years seen at the students' outpatient hospital for autonomic disorders, namely for vegetovascular dystonia (VVD) were examined. The data of somatovegetative and psychiatric examinations were compared. It has been shown that the symptomatic diagnosis of VVD may mask both vegetative lability common to the mentally normal and practically healthy subjects and vegetative dystonia syndrome proper, which is a component of psychovegetative syndromes. The statistically significant diagnostic somatovegetative and electrophysiological signs were distinguished, which make it possible to supposedly distribute groups with psychopathological syndromes and mentally healthy subjects.
