Introduction

The term hypertension means super-stress - psychoemotional. It is generally accepted that this condition is more inherent in men.

Objectives

Study psychological features of arterial hypertension patients depending on severity.

Methods

Examined 102 men, ages 31 to 62; the average age was 46.4 ± 0.32 years. Of these, with stage I AG 46 patients (1 group), with stage I AG 45 (2 group), with stage III AG 11 (3 group). Psychological status of patients was examined using the MMPI test.

Results

The averaged personality profile of patients showed that a profile exceeding 80 T points is typical for all comparison groups: 82,6%, 73,3%, 81,8%, in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The first profile type in frequency was the profile with a leading peak on the first scale in combination with a moderate rise on the right scales: seventh-eighth: 63.7% of the total number of surveyed. This profile reflected mainly depressive tendencies. The second most frequent profile reflected alarming trends: an increase on the 2nd scale with the main peak at 7. Persons with depressive manifestations were characterized by a focus on compliance with the normative criteria of the social environment, with anxious manifestations, personal characteristics were manifested by hostility, irritability, chronic social maladaptation

Conclusions

Thus, the psychoemotional conditions identified are characterized by frustration, high levels of anxiety, interpersonal disorders, reduced performance, which may be considered mental health disorders
