Gonorrhoea neurosis.
In two years of clinical practice, the authors saw 47 cases of gonorrhoea of strictly psychological origin--25 patients with anxiety neurosis, 10 with hypochondriasis, 7 with depression, and 5 with paranoid reaction, 25 with impotence initially presented for surgical opinion rather than psychiatric assessment. Socio-demographic factors and 4 clinical details are given, including possible related factors, course, treatment and outcome. Liaison between the veneorologists, surgeons and psychiatrists is strongly advocated.
