“…This finding can be explained by the fact that the symptoms that accompany dizziness are directly impacted by the lifestyle, motivations, and psychological state of the individual. 36 Thus, it is possible that two or more people have the same otoneurologic diagnosis, yet their daily activities are affected differently by dizziness.

“…4 Os sintomas psicológicos -depressão, ansiedade e medo -são apontados pela literatura como comórbidos da vertigem, cuja influência pode tornar o prognóstico menos positivo, com declínio na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. 5 Esta comorbidade sugere que estudos sejam feitos no sentido de determinar quais os principais quadros psicológicos concomitantes à queixa de vertigem em pacientes otoneurológicos. A angústia, como o equivalente psíquico da vertigem, merece ser, bem como a ansiedade, a depressão e o medo, investigada como possível sintoma psicológico concomitante à vertigem e considerada no diagnóstico, prognóstico e terapêutica de pacientes otoneurológicos.…”
