What is neurotic syndrome? Symptoms and care methods of neurotic syndrome

Generally, patients will experience symptoms such as headache, chest tightness, palpitations, insomnia, and memory loss, which will have a great impact on their physical health and daily life. Next, I will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about neurotic syndrome.

1. Introduction to Neurotic Syndrome

Neurotic syndrome, also known as neurosis, is a general term for a group of diseases, including neurasthenia, hysteria, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorder, phobia, hypochondriasis and various visceral neuroses, such as cardiovascular neurosis, gastrointestinal neurosis, etc.

2. Symptoms and manifestations

The symptoms of neurosis are complex and varied. Some include headaches, insomnia, and memory loss; others include palpitations, chest tightness, and feelings of fear. Its characteristic is that the emergence and changes of symptoms are related to mental factors. For example, some patients with gastrointestinal neurosis suffer from diarrhea whenever they are emotionally stressed.

The main manifestation is persistent psychological conflict. The patient is aware of or experiences this conflict and is deeply distressed by it, which greatly hinders psychological or social functioning, but there is no verifiable organic pathological basis.

The patient often uses exaggerated or subconscious methods to deal with conflicts, and the condition lasts long, while his realistic judgment remains normal.
