[Studies of neurophysiological reactivity and level of activation of the central nervous system in endogenous depression and circulatory system disturbances].
The aim of the study was to assess the neurophysiological factors of simple and complex reactivity of central nervous system in a group of 30 patients treated with endogenous depression and showing circulatory system disturbances, and in a group of 30 patients showing no such somatic problems. The findings showed that the simple and complex reactivity testing can be considered an important and sensitive indicator of the endogenous depression intensity, characteristic of additional circulatory system disturbances and "organic" basis of depression. Any improvement in the circulatory system disturbances and anti-atherosclerotic effect in elderly people should be taken into account.
