title: [Development of a compulsive syndrome by ovulation inhibitors].
abstract: The connection between psychic disturbances and the endocrine axis was considered important by many early authors (e.g. Kraepelin and Freud). Today, neuropsycho-endocrinology is a highly developed research field. Clinically, psychic disturbances in women are found most often during periods of endocrine change. This case study reports the induction of a compulsive-neurotic syndrome in a patient with a premorbid character disposition and the appropriate exogenous circumstances by an oral contraceptive, and the immediate and complete disappearance of the symptoms upon cessation of treatment.
