Autonomic nervous system in pathogenesis of neurotic syndrome and adaptation process

Methodological problems of evaluation of ANS role in influencing human behavior and etiopathogenesis of reactive mental disorders are scrutinized. Authors refer to the clinical experience obtained from long-term monitoring of ANS disorders, and at the same time they try to support the necessity of psychological and mainly social view on the onset and development of neurotic syndrome. The anxiety is studied in more detail, which is supposed to be a model example of both biological, and psychosocial structure. To conclude the study, the author presents the necessity to override the behavioral scope just in recommending to pay more attention to the proper processes of human adaptation.
