Psychosomatic relations in gastro-intestinal diseases in therapeutic practice

Abstract

We have studied peculiarities of psychosomatic relations in 140 duodenal ulcer (DU) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients having neurotic and psychic disorders. Analysis of results of clinical-endoscopic, clinical- psychopathological, and psychological methods has revealed polymorphism of psychopathological disorders hampering differential diagnostics and treatment of DU and IBS. This requires a combined approach to therapy of comorbid gastro-intestinal and borderline mental pathologies with both somatotrophic and psychotropic agents.
