title: [Psychological symptoms in patients with hearing and equilibrium disorders and possibilities of treatment with psychopharmacologic agents].
abstract: The aim of the investigation was to find out in a group of 130 hospitalized men and women, suffering from impaired hearing and equilibrium, the prevalence of psychic symptoms and psychopathological syndromes and symptoms suitable for psychopharmacological intervention. The method of interview and questionnaire SCL-90 was used which makes it possible to extract from quantifiable answers to 90 questions 10 symptoms constructions (dimensions) which roughly correspond with psychopathological syndromes. Psychopathological syndromes which are associated with the basic disease and are suitable for psychopharmacological intervention are in both sexes the following: somatization, depression, anxiety, phobic anxiety, impaired sleep and appetite. The assessed symptoms corresponding to a varying extent to the items of the questionnaire in both sexes are within the mentioned dimensions. In the subsequent stage the authors differentiate psychopathological syndromes and symptoms in acute and chronic ENT disease of the investigated groups. The authors maintain that psychopharmacological drugs influence in a favourable way not only the present mental symptoms in the framework of secondary psychopathology but also the psychosomatic component of the basic disease and thus have a favourable effect on its course. The author recommend some antidepressants, anxiolytics and neuroleptics to be used in small doses.
