In order to monitor the state of patients in the psychotherapy department by assessing motor activity during their night sleep, we examined 16 patients of both sexes with diagnosis of a depressive episode and neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders. Data on motor activity during sleep were obtained and processed using a special information-analytical system with the following parameters: the number of movements, the maximum jerk magnitude and the coefficient of motor activity. It showed a high efficiency of monitoring the condition of patients in comparison with healthy people by assessing motor activity during their night sleep.
