Psychosomatic manifestations in mental epidemics in Russia in the XVIII - early XX centuries

Abstract

Psychosomatics as one of the areas of domestic psychiatry is currently gaining more and more importance in the system of national medical care. It is known that at least 30% of patients who apply to medical institutions with somatic complaints only need a certain correction of the emotional state, of which 22% take up to 50% of the doctor's working time. In the available (available) literature, information about the formation of the views of Russian scientists on psychosomatics from a retrospective position is extremely insufficient, and it would be antihistorical to remain silent about this.
