title: [Clinical types of functional psychosomatic disorders in childhood and adolescence].
abstract: Functional psychosomatic diseases(FPS) in children and adolescents are fairly close to somatic depressions occurring in that particular age, at least at the first stage of the disease. In view of sufficient stability in time of the clinical manifestations of FPS in the same patient (which is evidently determined by the locus minoris of the somatic sphere) as well as in correspondence with the specificity of the practical activity of the pediatrician and counselling psychiatrist, it is advisable that FPS be classified in terms of the criterion for the predominance of one or another somatic disorder. Four types of FPS have been distinguished: hyperthermal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and infectious-allergic. These are the most frequently occurring patterns of that pathology. However, as one goes far into the narrow somatic disciplines, new types of FPS can be revealed. The medical and social significance of the problem dictates the necessity of further studies into the clinical picture and course of FPS in children and adolescents.
