Abstract
A psychological examination of 135 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (Bechterew Institute questionnaire) was made. Harmonious, neurasthenic, hypochondriac, paranoiac, apathetic and anxious attitudes to the disease were most frequent. Psychological features of personality in patients with RA do not depend on the sex, degree of activity, course, stage and the disease duration. The psychological characteristics of the patients allow one to make a differentiated approach to psychotherapy and prescription of psychotropic drugs.
