We examined 64 cases of essential hypotension from the standpoint of state anxiety and trait anxiety by using the Mirror Drawing Test (MDT) in addition to Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS).We also examined changes of blood pressure during MDT.According to the classification of MDT patterns, Types A & C were seen in more than 30% of the cases.Normal MDT patterns including Types A & B were found in 51.6%, while abnormal MDT patterns including Types C, D & E were seen in 48.4%.A comparison of sex differences showed that the majority of males were Type A whereas Type C was fiound in the majority of females.An increase in systolic blood pressure was observed in Types C & D when the first instruction was given in hte course of MDT.As classified by MDT and MAS, the psychosomatic type (with low scores in MAS and abnormal MDT patterns) was seen in 12.5% of the cases with essential hypotension.
