LEVEL OF STRESS IN ADOLESCENTS WITH FUNCTIONAL SOMATIC DISORDERS. CORRECTION METHODS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the actual problem of modern medicine - the analysis of the association of functional somatic disorders (FSD) in adolescents with the presence and level of stress. A review of data on the prevalence, etiology and clinical manifestations of the main types of FSD (recurrent headaches and abdominal pain, dorsalgia, asthenic syndrome, syncope and panic attacks) in children and adolescents was carried out. The results of our own study are included, which showed that a high level of stress was associated with the presence of asthenic syndrome (AS), chronic tension headache (TH), and frequent abdominal pain. Moderately and significantly increased levels of stress were associated with the presence of arterial hypertension (AH), AS, frequent abdominal pain, frequent pain in the cervical spine (CS), and panic disorders in children. Approaches to the correction of the level of stress tension and the prevention of its negative impact on the development of FSD are highlighted. The need for further scientific research in this direction is emphasized.
