What to do if you have anxiety disorder and migratory pain

There are many symptoms of anxiety disorder. Because psychological anxiety often leads to some physical reactions, such as migratory pain throughout the body, this shows that the anxiety disorder is relatively serious. You should consult a psychologist in time for psychological counseling. You can use some anti-anxiety drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, psychoanalytic treatment is also a common treatment.

How to treat anxiety disorders?

1. Psychoanalytic treatment:

Psychoanalytic therapy is one of the earliest and most influential therapies in modern psychotherapy. Help people with anxiety disorders understand the root causes of their internal psychological conflicts. The treatment process is usually conducted in a warm, quiet room. The patient lies on a comfortable sofa bed or chair, facing the ceiling. The therapist sits behind the patient and asks the patient to focus on his memories. Treatment is required 3 to 5 times a week, each time taking 40 to 50 minutes. The entire treatment course can be as short as 3 months to 6 months, or as long as 2 to 3 years or even longer.

2. Systematic desensitization treatment:

Systematic desensitization is a relaxation-based method to eliminate anxiety. It consists of three parts: muscle relaxation; anxiety gradient table; and pairing anxious situations with muscle relaxation in an imaginative way. In actual application, first determine the level of your emotional distress; then learn various relaxation methods; then perform relaxation training from low to high according to different anxiety levels, imagine the scenarios that are least likely to cause tension, and achieve the effect of desensitization through the relaxation process until anxiety is eliminated. Then move towards a higher level of anxiety and gradually adapt to the situations caused by anxiety.

3. Cognitive behavioral therapy:

The manifestations and treatments of anxiety disorders vary depending on the patient's specific symptoms.

(1) Behavioral therapy techniques, whose main function is to find out which key factors in the situation cause the patient's anxiety symptoms. The doctor then uses a technique called "systematic desensitization" to reduce the patient's anxiety about these specific factors.

(2) If the patient's anxiety symptoms are independent of any specific situation, that is, they are not specifically related to a particular environment, the doctor will use "relaxation training" to reduce the patient's overall tension level. (3) Since anxiety patients often show a sense of helplessness, the therapist will help the patient learn useful skills (such as social techniques and direct speaking techniques) to increase the patient's confidence in facing various situations.
