    AbstractDizziness is a common symptom that, despite extensive medical evaluation, often remains unexplained. Psychiatric or psychosomatic disorders underlie the condition in 30-55% of the cases. The most common disturbances are phobic and anxiety disorders, followed by dissociative, depressive and somatoform disorders. The assessment of psychiatric and psychosomatic symptoms should always be included in the neuro-otological examination of dizziness. Early interdisciplinary treatment should be initiated with the aim of preventing chronification of psycho-genetic vertigo.
