EVOLUTIONARY STOCHASTIC MODEL OF DYNAMICS OF PSYCHO­EMOTIONAL STATES IN AFFECTIVE DISORDERS

Experimental researches in the field of psychiatry show that variation of psycho­emotional states in humans resembles switching process between the various major phases (depressed, normal, manic state). The parameters of such switching process significantly differ in normal state and in affective disorders. To date, the known mathematical models of this process, are based on the assumption of presence of internal chaotic dynamics.
