[Peculiarities of affective disorders in residual cerebral insufficiency].
AIM
To determine clinical and psychopathological features of anxiety-depressive disorders in patients with cerebral residual organic insufficiency.


MATERIAL AND METHODS
One hundred and fourteen patients with anxiety-depressive disorders and cerebral residual-organic insufficiency were studied. Psychopathological, psychometric, statistical methods were used.


RESULTS AND CONCLUSION
Asthenia was identified as a core syndrome in anxiety-depressive disorders developed in patients with cerebral residual-organic insufficiency. Severe anxiety and depression with somatization of symptoms were characteristic of the structure of affective pathology. The somatization of affect, interpersonal sensitivity, marked asthenic and autonomic disorders as well as negative attitudes about their own condition, abilities and activity were main features of affective disorders in patients with cerebral residual-organic insufficiency. Clinical characteristics of cerebral residual-organic insufficiency and the diversity of its manifestations, including the combination with mental disorders, determine the relevance of further research.
