Such a diffused condition as vegetative dystonia syndrome (SVD) is one of the most frequent diagnoses in Russian neurological practice. Last years, not only significant terminological and classification changes relating to SVD have occurred in the world, but the principles of making this diagnosis have changed: the «positive diagnosis» has replaced the «diagnosis of exclusion». «Positive diagnosis» is based on 4 criteria – stressing somatic symptoms, emotional affective component, inadequate thoughts, behavior changes. Combined therapy of SVD should be aimed not only at the relief of the leading symptom / syndrome and the influence at cognitive, emotional, behavioral disorders, but also at the prevention of recurrence and further progression of the disease.
Keywords: vegetative dystonia syndrome, anxiolytics, antidepressants, psychotherapy
