Treatment of neuroses

How to determine neurosis

This disease has a wide range of symptoms, some of which are mixed with somatic diseases by inexperienced doctors. For example, chronic neurosis of the heart can be confused with serious heart problems, while no pathological changes in the organ are observed. Among the common symptoms that allow the correct diagnosis, the following conditions are distinguished:

• Exacerbation of the emotional component, including irrational anger or despair, even with minor negative events. Sometimes, on the contrary, there is inhibition and indifference.
• Increased anxiety.
• Focus on the situation that led to mental trauma.
• Weeping, and in both women and men.
• Asthenic form is associated with deterioration of attention and concentration, accelerated fatigue.
• Immunity of loud sound and bright light–misophonia and photophobia.
• Broad-spectrum sleep disorders–drowsiness or insomnia, often the patient feels tired even after a long sleep.
• Vegetative symptoms–respiratory failures, arrhythmic heartbeat or tachycardia, diarrhea or nausea, which is often accompanied by childhood neurosis of the stomach, excessive sweating.
• Unexplained decrease in libido.

There are several types of this disease associated with the mental or somatic state of the patient. The first includes, for example, a phobic form, which is characterized by panic attacks and other similar symptoms. Type II.–stomach neurosis, when the functionality of the organ is disturbed without pathological changes.

How the treatment works

When deciding how to treat this disease, a specialist always pays attention to two main components.–psychological and pharmacological. As a rule, the drug stage is required for acute periods, while the therapist accompanies the patient throughout the course. After the initial reception and diagnosis, an integrated approach includes such types of exposure as:

• Drug therapy. It is used in the acute phase, includes depressants, tranquilizers, adaptogens, sedatives. They help relieve pain and alleviate the patient's condition, for example, if he has respiratory neurosis of the throat or bulemic intestinal neurosis.
• Psychotherapeutic techniques. Allow you to remove anxiety and remove obsession with problems that cause a pathological condition. They are the main method of consolidating the achieved result and persistent remission. Individual, group classes, art therapy, game, behavioral techniques and even analysis of the patient's dreams are practiced. Play forms are effective when a hysterical form of this disease is diagnosed in children.
• Effective treatment of muscle neurosis is impossible without physiotherapy. These are exercise therapy, magnetotherapy, massages, hydrotherapy and other techniques aimed at restoring control over all muscle groups of the patient. For example, it is very helpful in the treatment of cervical neurosis. This technique often has a beneficial effect in other forms of the disease.
• To search for the problem that led to the appearance of a pathological condition, hypnotherapy is often used. For example, obsessive neurosis is often in the unconscious sphere, and hypnosis will help to identify its root.
