In 2013, I conducted a small statistical study, the results of which I reported at the OPPL congress that same year. I was interested in the composition of the patients who turned to me for psychotherapeutic help. People come to a psychotherapist with a variety of complaints. From psychosis and dementia to family and child problems. So, I collected all the cases I had, there were 336 people at that time, and carried out statistical processing of them. I examined the distribution by gender, age, and which diagnoses were more common within these groups. Since I am a psychotherapist, I make diagnoses according to ICD-10. As you might expect, my most frequent visitors were women between the ages of 18 and 40. As a percentage, then 72% are women and 23% are men. In general, it is a fact that women are more likely to seek psychological help. Perhaps this is due to the more vulnerable female psyche. The psychodynamic theory states that the female psyche is generally more infantile than the male; there are always many childish traits in the appearance and behavior of women. On the other hand, women are more interested in their emotional inner lives. Men, as usual, are more passionate about the objective side of the issue. Regardless of gender, the psychotherapist's clients are mostly young people aged 18-40. Age after 60 was more common in women (about 9%), and men over 60 were only 3%. This is more likely due to the life expectancy of males. Women 70-80 years old came. There were no men of that age. But there were more boys at the reception than girls. It should be understood that the most common reason for children to attend is difficulties at school and bad behavior. So boys seem to misbehave more. The predominant diagnosis among women in this study was anxiety disorders. These include generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and anxiety-depressive syndrome. The number of anxious patients increases with age; there are 45% of them in women 40-60 years old, and only 20% of young people. Adaptation disorders are the most common in men. Adaptation disorder is different in that it always involves a traumatic situation, although the manifestations are common - anxiety and depression. The peak of such disorders in men occurs at the age of 30-50 years - more than half of the requests (55%). In women, on the contrary, this disorder is generally less common and much more common before the age of 30. Young women appear to be more vulnerable to stress. At the age of 30-40 years, both men and women experience the peak of psychosomatic (somatoform) disorders. Somewhere in this age period, psychological problems go into the body. Although here too, women are almost twice as ahead of men (21 and 12%). Actually, a depressive episode that meets the ICD-10 criteria is rarely observed in my practice; 6.6% of women and 4% of men suffered from it. It is characteristic that in men depression is evenly distributed across all ages, while in women there is an age-related peak. At the age of 60-70 years – this is more than a third of applications. In psychiatry this is called involutional melancholia. But among men aged 50-60 years, anxiety increases. Anxiety disorders were identified in 87% of older men. In men under 30 years of age, such conditions are only 16%. It is clear that in old age the number of so-called organic disorders, i.e. conditions in which the structure of the brain is affected. Most often these are Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis. Schizophrenic disorders also occurred, mainly in the young group. Here men are ahead of women – 13 and 9%, respectively. Younger men also showed more personality disorders, i.e. persistent changes in personal structure than in young women – 9 and 4%. Obsessiveness neuroses, bulimia and neurasthenia were rare in both sexes. Family problems worry 12% of women, and their peak occurs at the age of 50-60 years. Men begin to worry about family happiness earlier, at the age of 30-40..
