ASTHENONEUROTIC SYNDROME AS A MANIFESTATION OF IRON DEFICIENCY

Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are common conditions that lead to reduced physical and mental performance. ID may be accompanied by symptoms of astheno- neurotic syndrome and the severity of its manifestations are determined by the severity of ID. Considering the prevalence of iron deficiency conditions, the multifactorial nature of their development, it is advisable to study the exchange of Fe in patients suffering from astheno- neurotic syndrome. Taking Fe preparations, in addition to correcting latent ID or IDA, in most cases leads to a decrease and in some cases to relief of manifestations of astheno-neurotic syndrome.
