Abstract

During the past one to two decades, practicing physicians and clinical researchers have shown an increasing interest in the psychogenic factors (especially chronic anxiety) that contribute to the development of emotional behavior disorders and anthropogenic occupational malfunctions. A comprehensive medical psychological assessment of 80 patients with high levels of predominantly deep-seated anxiety who had various (mainly indirect) complaints of the overall state of health and inadequate professional capacity was conducted. It has been found that the pathogenic effect of anxiety on the neuropsychological function increases with age and leads to professional failures and arterial hypertension and other psychosomatic dysfunctions (mainly in men prone to psychological suppression and ignoring anxiety). From a psychoprophylactic perspective (considering Leonhard’s personality accentuations), chronic anxiety demands comprehensive medical-psychological care in a timely manner.
