title: [Follow-up evaluation of the results of the treatment of 40 cases of anxiety neurosis].
abstract: The follow-up study lasting 2 to 7 years of 40 patients with diagnosis of anxiety neurosis hospitalized in the Department of Psychiatry, Medical Academy Gdansk, was performed. Only in 9 cases "pure" neurosis was observed. In the majority of cases neurosis was accompanied by histrionic traits. The possibility of organic brain damage was raised in 7 cases. No symptoms of anxiety were found in 14 cases during the follow-up period, while in 15 cases substantial decrease of anxiety symptoms was found, and in 11 cases anxiety symptoms relapsed. The dependence between therapeutic results and time of duration of symptoms was noted. Direct results of treatment did not differ significantly from those found in follow-up studies.
