[Mental disorders in pathological gamblers].

The study aimed at investigating mental disorders in pathological gamblers. A sample included 73 pathological gamblers (PG) and 77 age- and sex-matched controls. Severity of mental disorders was assessed using the SCL-90-R questionnaire. Most of PG were male (89%), mean age 26,8 +/- 6,3 years. Divorced were 27,4% and never married--20,5%. Most of PG (71,1%) had secondary school education. Alcohol-related problems were observed in 35,6% of PG and 52,1% had positive family history of alcohol-dependence. Mental disorders, mostly of anxiety-depressive and asthenia character, as well as obsessive-compulsive, paranoiac and phobic symptoms were found in 66 (90,4%) PG. In 92,4% cases, severity of disturbances reached the level of symptomatic stress disorder.

[Psychological aspects of systemic approach to intra-nosological diagnosis in arterial hypertension].

AIM: To evaluate significance of the program of psychological examination of patients with essential hypertension (EH) for clinicians and characterize the patients psychologically. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 46 EH patients were examined for time of trouble, stress liability, psychological reaction to the disease, factors of vitality. 24-h blood pressure (BP) monitoring was made in 40 patients. RESULTS: It is shown that in EH more frequent are hypochondriac and anxiodepressive psychological types. "White coat" hypertensive reactions (primarily, a rise of systolic blood pressure by 12.5%, on the average) were observed in any psychological types but more in the hypochondriac type. Time of trouble and stress liability were high and correlated. Cluster analysis has identified patients with the highest mean BP. Their psychological analysis is presented. CONCLUSION: The proposed program of evaluation of psychological features of somatic patients allow to define main psychological factors influencing BP. This program is available for clinicians who are not professional psychologists.

[Psychophysiological health aspects of population living in radiation-contaminated territories].

A combined psychophysiologic study of 100 individuals living in territories contaminated by radionuclides and 60 people from ecologically clean region. There were no significant differences in the incidence of neurotic disorders between people from these regions (61.2 and 65.3%, respectively). The highest sensitivity to small radiation doses was observed at rather young age (20-40 years). It was found that a considerable role in the development of borderline psychic disorders belongs to both somatic disturbances due to low-dose radiation and psychogenic effects. A combined action of psychogenic and somatogenic factors aggravated symptoms of neurotic disorders and promoted widening of a range of psychic disturbances. Some part of the population from the contaminated territories tended to the development of cerebro-vascular psychoorganic pathology resultant from a breakdown of the reserves of the adaptation. Now the stress factor of radionuclides exposure is not so important as social and economic problems.
