Abstract

1. Purpose of the study.Establishing features of the manifestations of psycho-vegetative disorders in children and adolescents throughout a long observation.
2. Material and methods.In the pediatric hospital, 102 patients with functional vegetative-somatic disorders with follow-up from 3 to 17 years were examined. The study used clinical-psychopathological, clinical-follow-up, cohort-dynamic methods.
3. Results and conclusion.Functional vegetative-somatic pathology in children and adolescents proceeds in the form of a psycho-vegetative syndrome. At the manifestation stage in preschool childhood, the psychopathological component is “masked” in nature and later becomes more complex in the clinical picture. In adolescence, the vegetative-somatic symptoms are smoothed out, while the psychopathological component determines the clinical picture with the subsequent possible «normalization» of the condition. The use of psychopharmacological therapy allows to correct psychopathological disorders and control the vegetative-somatic symptoms.
