Some psychological problems can manifest with the symptom of disequilibrium. Disequilibrium can, in turn, cause or worsen psychological symptoms. In patients with a combination of these symptoms, it is medically reasonable to check several tests of balance function in order to assess whether there is a diagnosable inner ear cause of disequilibrium that might merit its own treatment. In most cases, consultation with psychiatrist is helpful in order to “break” the vicious cycle that these symptoms may otherwise establish.
