[Personality and psychopathology in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome].
Twenty-one patients with primary Sjogrens' syndrome were investigated for hostility structure and psychiatric symptomatology. It was observed that they manifested high levels of hostility with an intropunitive direction in combination with highly scored delusional items of guilt and paranoid hostility. Acting-out hostility was in low levels. From the psychopathology point of view the majority of patients reported mainly depression and somatization, as well as anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Unexpectedly paranoid symptoms were revealed in a substantial number of these patients. SS patients may present serious psychiatric symptoms and are in need of psychiatric help.
