特にめまい患者

抄録

While many patients complained of malaise in head and neck area, in many of the cases, clear physical evidence was not easily identifiable. In this study, these patients underwent a psychological analysis, performed by psychologists, with emphasis being on the patients with dizziness. Fifty-six patients complaining of malaise in head and neck area, and resistant to long-term variant medication, were analyzed using the Baum and Rorschach tests. Based on the psychological analysis, the patients were divided into three groups NG-normal group not requiring any mental treatment; BG-borderline group requiring psychological treatment; MG-mental group required psychiatric treatment. None of the patients were in the NG, while thirty-five patients were in the BG, and twenty-one patients were in the MG. Thirty-six patients (approximately 60%) in these two groups were patients suffering from dizziness. The results indicate that many patients with mental disorders visit the otorhinolaryngology physician, and the physician should recognize this fact and develop treatment for these patients.
