[The mental reactive characteristics of patients with neurasthenia and hypertension during frustration]

The response to stress was compared for neurotic subjects and initial hypertension patients. The stress was simulated using Rosenzweig frustration method. The neurotic patients responded by profound psychological revision of the stress situation, complicated relationships of the inner reactions and their apparent manifestations. Hypertensive subjects had less profound emotions, their psychological responses were close to those of healthy subjects.
