  • Title: [Psychopathology and the dynamics of psychogenic hysterical disorders arising in the presenile period and in old age].
    Author: Sergeev II.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1977; 77(12):1853-7. PubMed ID: 602561.
    Abstract:
    As a result of the study of the nervous-mental state of 45 patients the author revealed considerable peculiarities of the clinical picture and the course of psychogenic hysterical disturbances depending on manifestations in the elderly or old age. It is shown that reactive hysterical states with the onset in the old age are distinguished by more elementariness, stereotypness, monotony of manifestations, absence of inclination for progression and transformation into a pathological development of a personality (what is frequently observed in the debut of hysterical disorders in the old age). The clinico-dynamic differences of psychogenic hysteria with the onset in presenium and old age are explained by different influence of common aged factors, climacteric and cerebro-vascular factors.
