The features of emotional and personality status of patients with central serous chorioretinopathy are analyzed in this article. The study of emotional and personality features of 27 people from 27 to 62 years (average age – 47,7 ± 8,5 years) which were in treatment with a sharp decrease in visual acuity from 0,8 to 0,05 as a result of developed central serous chorioretinopathy. It was found that patients with central serous chorioretinopathy in 50 % of cases are characterized by: 1) the severity of psychopathologic symptomatology; 2) super-strong and sometimes obsessive attitude to work, as well as an understatement of “significance” of the disease in favor of maintaining the working status; 3) the desire to overcome difficulties due to targeted analysis of stressful situations; 4) stable tendency to perceive a large range of situations as threatening the well-being; 5) the deterioration of the quality of life, which is characterized by dissatisfaction with the state of health (especially in visual acuity). Thus, these results show that patients with central serous chorioretinopathy have emotional and personality features aggravating the overall condition of the patient.
