title: [Mental changes in hypertensive patients during long-term ambulatory treatment].
abstract: A total of 149 subjects with borderline arterial hypertension and patients with essential hypertension, stages I-III, were studied. Prolonged (up to 1 year) active hypotensive treatment produced considerable improvement of general wellbeing, blood pressure reduction and an obvious tendency to balancing mentality disorders. Hemiton and reserpine were the most effective drugs in this respect, and obsidan was only slightly less effective. During prolonged treatment, subjects with borderline arterial hypertension can show transitory worsening of their mental status which requires psychotherapeutic correction. Medical rehabilitation for subjects with borderline arterial hypertension should be well-founded.
