The authors have found that disturbances of general sensitivity are characteristic of not only patients with hysterical neurosis, but also of patients with neurasthenia. The clinical structure and the time course of those disturbances in both groups of the patients were found to be rather close. In general, they differ substantially from the sensitivity disturbances in neuroses described earlier. The leading mechanism of the development of those sensitivity disturbances consists in an impairment of the function of the limbico-reticular complex structures.
