Excerpt

Some 30–50% of vertigo and dizziness symptoms cannot be explained by vestibular deficit or organic illness. They show co-morbidity with psychiatric disorders, i.e., anxiety and phobic disorders [1], illustrated in the concept of phobic postural vertigo (PPV) [2] describing patients with postural dizziness and subjective instability of stance and gait without pathological findings on otoneurological examination, vestibular, and balance tests. PPV exacerbates during perceptional stimuli and in social situations. The association between vertigo/dizziness and anxiety may be explained by neuroanatomical connections between the vestibular system and neuronal pathways modulated by monoaminergic influences [3]. …
