Introduction

Aging and menopause as a medico-social determinant of female gender influence on mental health. Female gender in the period of menopause is associated with the end of fertility that affects adaptation to changed conditions, decreases intellectual and physical possibilities, narrows role positions, leads to non-psychotic mental disorders (NPMD).

Objective

To identify influence of the age, menopause, female sex, sociodemographic parameters on hysterical symptoms in structure of NPMD.

Material

In the borderline states department, 93 female patients with hysterical manifestations in structure of NPMD were treated.

Methods

Psychopathological, clinical-dynamic, clinical-catamnestic, psychometric, psychological and statistical.

Results

In 100%, the hysterical symptoms in the puberty leveled at reproductive age, intensified in climax: 72.04% - pre-menopause (P < 0.05), meno-, postmenopause - 13.98% each. Sociodemographic characteristics (marital status, social status, place of living, education, family composition, family relations) were not interrelated with frequency of hysterical manifestations in the structure of NPMD (P > 0.05). There were more married (68.82%) than divorced (15.05%), widowed (10.75%), single (5.38%); more working (70.97%) than pensioners (22.58%), unemployed (6.45%); more living with husband (51.61%) than with husband and children (17.21%), living alone (15.05%), with adult children (16.13%); more townswomen (80.65%) than villagers (19.35%); education more often secondary (51.61%), high (45.16%) than elementary (3.23%); disharmonic family relations more often (70.97%) than harmonic (13.98%), indifferent (15.05%).

Conclusions

Age, menopause, female sex are reliably (P < 0.05) connected with intensification of hysterical symptoms in the structure of NPMD in difference from sociodemographic parameters not associated with frequency of hysterical manifestations.
