[Psychosomatic aspects of balance disorders]

Abstract

Diseases in which dizziness symptoms are in the foreground are relatively common in primary care. They can have many causes, both organic and with mental involvement. In most cases, patients primarily undergo only somatic diagnostics and accordingly have delayed contact with psychosomatic medicine. However, the proportion of psychic components or causes of dizziness is relatively high. Accordingly, psychotherapy procedures can show good success rates in many patients. All in all, patients with vertigo suffer from the early addition of psychotherapeutically trained physicians.
