[The clinical types of somatization mental disorders in elderly people].
A study is presented of 33 patients suffering of borderline neuropsychic disorders of neurotic and affective levels with somatized course. One should distinguish in these patients mental disorders per se (asthenia, depression and hypochondria) and different functional-somatic, vegetative-vascular and senestopathic disorders and their combinations. Somatized disorders characteristic of this age group were singled out: cutaneous-muscular, abdominal, cerebral and cardiovascular. Cutaneous-muscular were most frequent. The problem is discussed of distinguishing peculiar "senestovegetoses" and "senestosomatoses" in the borders of somatized depressive states.
