Abstract

The autonomic nervous system of people with mental illness is influenced by the mode of pronounced predominance of sympathy. This mode mostly interferes with a patient's inability to participate in social events. Diagnostic interviews and questionnaires among the patients of the psychoneurological dispensary demonstrate that stressful situations brought no heath-damaging impact. In turn, chronic psycho-emotional stress (usually induced by death of relatives, divorce, separation, loneliness, accidents injury, relocation) caused the first endogenous symptoms of mental illness. The stress index analysis of the psycho-neurological dispensary demonstrates the fact the chronic stress may cause a long-term mental illness.
