Hypothalamic Syndrome
Abstract
Hypothalamic syndrome is a polyetiological disorder in which hypothalamic dysfunction manifests itself through autonomic, vascular, endocrine, and emotional disturbances.The underlying condition is an asthenic syndrome with fatigue, irritability, and anxiety.These symptoms often masquerade as somatic illnesses, particularly in depressive and cyclothymic disorders.It is important to consider the psychosomatic nature of the syndrome for proper diagnosis and effective treatment, including psychotropic medications and correction of autonomic dysfunction.
