title: [Incidence and significance of psychovegetative syndromes--demonstration on an example of an internal medicine diagnostic station].
abstract: It is reported on 215 patients in whom after detailed somatic and psychodiagnostic examination in a ward of internal diseases the diagnosis of neurosis was made. The cases in question were 33.3% of the whole number of patients during a selected period. In the majority of cases (74%) organic functional disturbances were diagnosed, above all cardiovascular and gastro-enterological syndromes. The screening diagnostics especially with the help of questionaires of complaints allowed of a comparatively certain conclusion to the existence of a psychovegetative syndrome. Altogether 51 patients exhibited the picture of a functional organic linkage syndrome, i.e. in an organic disease a characteristic functional syndrome remained ascertained. The duration of the diseases was always several years, they were chronified, mostly by iatrogenic influences and labelled by an organic pseudodiagnosis. Among the therapeutic measures possible in practice already the diagnosing of a neurosis represents a decisive step.
