[Psychopathology of anxiety]
Abstract:
A study of 102 patients with different psychoses (schizophrenia, manic-depressive psychosis, alcoholism, vascular, somatogenic, reactive and exogenous-organic) made it possible to describe general phenomenological traits of anxiety. Such traits are the following: a prevalence of an affective component of anxiety over verbal and motor; a prevalent "inner formation" of fears; a tendency of anxious-hypochondriacal fears towards a depressive affect, while fears of a vital character to the phobic affect. Anxiety is considered as a variant of a depression. In the continuum of affective disorders anxiety occupies a place between depression and a phobic affect.
