Psychological-psychiatric factors in chronic dizziness
Danijel Buljan

Sažetak
Investigations demonstrated a correlation between oto-neurological illnesses manifested subjectively by instability and dizziness and anxiety and other psychiatric disorders.
The concept of chronic vertigo offered a systematic approach to patients with a lasting dizziness not caused by an evident patophysiological vestibular damage. According to newer neurobiological investigations, there are three subtypes of chronic dizziness: otogenic, psychogenic and interactive.
Nowadays there is a greater diagnostic accuracy and insight into the basic pathophysiological processes of the vestibular migraene, post-concussional syndrom and dysautonomias that can cause chronic dizziness.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, rehabilitation therapy for restoring the balance, and cognitive- behavioural therapy can be effective in treatment, but this effectiveness is limited.
