[Neurotic inhibition and transnosographic approach. Apropos of a multicenter study of carpipramine]

We have performed a national multicentric atrial in psychiatry, collecting 546 patients with neurotic inhibition. The efficacy of carpipramine was evaluated in this disease. A transnosographic and epidemiologic analysis of this syndrome was realized on this group of out patients. The statistical study by a factorial analysis of correspondences shows the epidemiological and symptomatic characteristics of inhibition. The endpoints were DSM-III criteria of chronic anxiety, adaptation disorders and functional sexual disorders on the first axis and different types of personality on the second axis.
