In patients' blood serum content of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS), general triiodothyronine (T3), free thyroxine (fT4) is determined. If values of cortisol level are higher than 500 nmole/l at the background of reduction of DHEAS concentration relative to its level in healthy people, with ratio DHEAS/cortisol lower than 0.3 and normal level of T3 and T4, patients' passing into adaptation disorder with predominance of depressive reactions is prognosed. If fT4 concentration increases to 20 pmole/l and higher with physiological concentrations of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate and ratio DHEAS/cortisol, passing into dissociative (conversion hysterical) disorder is prognosed.
