Abstract

Man's environment, natural as well as artificial, may exert a pathogenic influence on man's life, according to which we could divide the population in meteorosensitive (about 60%) and non meteorosensitive. Psychic patients and patients who suffer from certain organic diseases are those ones who more frequently behave as meteorosensitive. We accept this as starting point of our work. In our paper we analysed statistically the relation among different cosmo-meteorologic factors in the incidence of psychiatric emergencies during two years separated by five years and the probable existence of seasonal rhythms in the different studied diagnostic categories. As well as partial results for every diagnostic category we elaborate as final conclusion that these relations have a multifactorial character, that is to say, there are several factors that interact to unchain certain pathology in meteorosensitive people. We emphasize the existence of seasonal cycles in certain psychiatric syndromes. These conclusions are seen specially in personality disorders, suicide attempts, anxiety crisis and disorders, drug addictions and psycho-organic diseases.
