It is becoming increasingly evident that arterial hypertension in man is usually a psychosomatic disease. Therefore, to understand pathogenesis one must examine the psyche and the effects of psychic disturbances upon the soma. It is not within the province of this discussion to consider at length such disorders and their relation to hypertension. For purposes of orientation toward a view of the whole picture, however, we must scrutinize briefly the influences which bear on this condition in order to direct our attention to salient features which deserve further investigation. Suffice it to say, therefore, that disorders or deficiencies of personality exist (30) that they antedate the occurrence of hypertension (8) and that the emotional tension arising from their presence profoundly affects vegetative functions, especially those concerned with blood flow and blood pressure (68). [Pg.4]

The chronic effects show rapid emaciation and severe psychic disturbances, insomnia, hallucinations, apathy, melancholia, and suicidal mania. The pupils are inconstant. Acne is common. It is claimed that considerable tolerance is acquired, so that the daily hypodermic consumption may reach 2.5 g or even 10 g. Morphinists are relatively tolerant to cocaine. Sudden withdrawal leads to abstinence symptoms similar to morphine. With cocaine snuffing, where smaller amounts are used in intermittent debauches, the chronic effects such as the craving and the abstinence symptoms are proportionately less marked. Such patients develop atrophic rhinitis, with characteristic ulceration of the nasal fossae — also present in people who snuff heroin. [Pg.270]
