title: [Vertigo--comorbidity with psychiatric disorders].
abstract: Vertigo is one of the most common symptom and complaint in the clinical practice. The differential diagnosis can only be attained by a careful interdisciplinary way of thinking and activity, given the fact that the vestibular, neurological and psychiatric disorders--considered as pathogenic factors--are being present simultaneously in triggering the symptoms, and there can be overlaps between the certain pathological processes. The author deals with the co-morbidity of the vertigo and the psychiatric symptoms--anxiety, panic-disorder--, pointing out the common neurobiological and neurophysiological factors in the background of the symptoms, emphasizing the importance of the SSRI-s in the restoration of the serotonerg dysfunction.
