ANALYSIS OF PSYCHOSOMATIC DISORDERS IN 500 SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Schizophrenia and psychosomatic disorders (PSD) are obviously affected by psycho-social factors. However, there is a hypothesis that schizophaenia and PSD are mutually exclusive. The analysis of PSD was carried out in 500 schizophrenic patients, of which 6 (1.2%) had essential hypertension, 4 (0.8%) peptic ulcer, 2 (0.4%)asthma, 3 (0.6%) rheumatoid arthritis, 2 (0.4%) hyperthroidism, 5 (1.0%) neurodermatitis and 1 (0.2%)chronic urticaria. These 23 patients were 4.6%. The incidence of these 7 diseases is lower in schizophrenic patients than in any other population in the same area and lower than that reported in the data from north America or Roland. In this paper, we try to analyze the psychological and physiological factors.
