Abstract

The article presents the results of the treatment of 275 cases of nocturnal enuresis which are subdivided by the author into 3 forms according to the nature of the pathogenesis: neurotic, organic and familial. The neurotic form of eneuresis showed the best response to a combination of hypnotherapy with tranquilizers and antidepressants, the organic form was most responsive to nootropic agents, antidepressants and anticonvulsants. Antidepressants were effective for the treatment of familial enuresis in its pure form.
