Abstract;The relationship between 46 autonomic nervous symptoms from the Cornell Medical Index (CMI)-Nichidai method and [A]-scores from manifest anxiety scale (MAS) in 1172 patients or self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores in 1756 patients of "the LCC Institute of Medical Research on Stress" were analyzed using multiple logistic function. The autonomic nervous symptoms which correlated with anxiety were cardiovascular symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, heat sensation, pollakiuria, fatigue, somnipathy, headache and foot muscle fatigue in males, and gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, somnipathy and anorexia in females. Autonomic nervous symptoms which correlated with depression were cardiovascular symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, heat sensation, pollakiuria, fatigue, somnipathy and rheumatoid arthritis in males, and gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, somnipathy, palpitation, dyspnea, myalgia, flushing and dizziness in females. Our findings suggest that anxiety and depression could be diagnosed when these symptoms were described. (author abst.)
