All this contributes to the rapid recovery of the mental health of the clinic’s patients.

What is meant by the words “neurosis” and “neurasthenia”?

Neurosis is a mental disorder that can be provoked by various stressful situations or injuries, as well as prolonged mental overstrain. This psychogenic illness, which can occur at any age, always has a cause and is treatable.

Basically, there are three main forms of neuroses:

• neurasthenia;
• hysteria;
• obsessive-compulsive neurosis.

Signs of neurasthenia are fatigue, excessive irritation. Hysteria is due to sudden bouts of intense crying or laughter. Obsessive compulsions – when certain images and thoughts constantly appear in a person’s mind that cause discomfort, but which are very difficult to get rid of on their own. There are also many other forms of this disease, manifested under the influence of various factors.

Neurasthenia can manifest itself both on a physical and psycho-emotional level. The main physical manifestations of the disease include the following:

• headaches;
• excessive sweating;
• heart palpitations and pain in the heart area;
• feeling of suffocation;
• tremor of the limbs;
• menstrual disorders in women.

 Among the psychological symptoms of neurosis are:

• increased anxiety, irritability;
• feeling of loss of control, weakness, apathy;
• excessive anxiety, fear of death;
• mood swings;
• violation of sleep and wakefulness.

If we talk about the signs of this anxiety disorder, it should be noted that the disease can manifest itself in different ways. The main signs of mental manifestations of the disease are constant excitement, feelings of apathy and powerlessness, the development of various phobias, depression, and obsessive thoughts.

Physical manifestations may include tachycardia, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, fever or chills, and spinal pain. Also, frequent signs include sleep disturbances and problems in the intimate sphere.

The cause of neurasthenia can often be a prolonged lack of rest, inadequate sleep, constant psycho-emotional stress and excessive physical exertion. Another important factor in the development of a neurotic disorder can be an unresolved internal conflict in a person or negative circumstances from the outside, as well as an excess of negative information.

The cause of neurosis can be the following factors:

• chronic overwork;
• prolonged lack of sleep;
• stress and emotional tension;
• negative emotions.

Sometimes, among the psychogenic factors, innate features of temperament, prolonged stay in a negative environment, and features of upbringing are distinguished. In rare cases, the causes may be head injuries, infectious diseases of the brain, exposure to alcohol, drugs, psychotropic substances.

For the treatment of neuroses, complex therapy is most effective, which may include the following types of treatment:

It includes the use of special medical hypnotics, antidepressants, sedatives and tranquilizers.

Because most neuroses are associated with a mental disorder, manifested by the so-called reaction in response to a traumatic event. In this situation, a qualified psychologist will help you understand your experiences, remove the cause of anxiety and learn how to cope with new attacks.

The so-called “Ericksonian hypnosis” is used, which is characterized by its short-term nature – the ability to get a quick positive effect from therapy in a short period.

Drugs are prescribed by a psychiatrist after the diagnosis. If mild sedatives do not have a positive effect, often at the beginning of therapy, the doctor may prescribe a course of tranquilizers, antidepressants or other drugs.

Neurasthenia by its nature is a very specific disease that requires complex treatment. But the first important step on the road to recovery is to seek qualified help from specialists.

Neurosis can be treated at the Kartushinskaya clinic, where a course of therapy is prescribed to the patient, taking into account his individual characteristics and symptoms. The clinic offers comfortable conditions for the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety conditions.
