A case of phobic anxiety related to the inability to smell cyanide.

This report describes a case of phobic anxiety relating to cyanide in a process operator who is unable to smell hydrogen cyanide. This case demonstrates that hazardous substances in the workplace can provoke this mental disorder in individuals who are unable to detect by special senses whether or not a specific hazard is present. The clinical management of such individuals is complicated since they must be able to perceive the feared object or substance in order to overcome their anxiety.

The psychological problems among the dependents of armed servicemen presenting to general practitioners are discussed, with particular emphasis on how the peculiarities of service life contribute to their aetiology and presentation. Within the UK, primary health care for service dependents is increasingly being provided by National Health Service general practitioners who have no knowledge of service life. An understanding of this minority group with its different lifestyle and subculture is important for management of these disorders.
