We studied a case of surgical menopause in a hysterical patient. Castration was followed by depression with sexual disorders, somatic complaints, and specific menopausal manifestations, mainly hot flushes. Hysterectomy had been done a year earlier. Since then the patient had been admitted twice to a psychiatric ward following attempted suicide. Veralipride was given for twenty days. Noticeable improvement was recorded. Therapy was then discontinued for ten days. Symptoms recurred and long-lasting therapy was decided on. Subsequently, sustained overall improvement with disappearance of specific menopausal disorders, were recorded.

Panic disorder is a chronic illness that affects at least 3 percent of the population. Panic disorder is associated with significant morbidity and an increased risk of suicide. Patients generally present with multiple somatic and psychologic complaints, including heart palpitations, chest pain, tremor, shortness of breath, choking, nausea or abdominal distress, dizziness, derealization, fear of losing control or going crazy, fear of dying, paresthesias, chills or hot flushes, headache, diarrhea, insomnia, chronic fatigue, anxiety and depression. To make the correct diagnosis, these symptoms must be evaluated carefully since they also occur with serious cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrinologic and neurologic disorders. Many effective treatments are available, including tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, benzodiazepines such as alprazolam and clonazepam, and psychotherapy.
