Neurasthenia

Because everyone has a different personality, growth, and environment, their attitudes towards people are also different. Some people are particularly demanding, pursuing perfection in everything, and lack the ability to regulate stress. These people are easily prone to tension and fatigue, resulting in neurasthenia.

Sometimes I wonder if I have neurasthenia. What are my symptoms? Neurasthenia and my symptoms are not the same, right? Don’t worry, today I will teach you what symptoms belong to neurasthenia, so you don’t have to think about it anymore.

1. Lack of mental power and mental fatigue: Patients often feel lack of energy, listlessness, inability to use their brains, or slow mental power, inability to concentrate, memory loss, and decreased work efficiency.

2. Sensitivity to internal and external stimuli: ① There is no organic disease; ② The more the patient pays attention to a certain part or symptom, the more obvious the pain will be. If the attention is diverted, the pain will be significantly reduced or even eliminated. ③ The distribution of the painful parts does not necessarily conform to the anatomical parts, and the position is not fixed or may change; ④ The symptoms described by the patient are numerous and complicated, making it difficult to understand. After talking for a long time, people still cannot figure out where he is uncomfortable.

3. Mood swings, irritability, and lack of patience: ① Easily irritated and worried; ② Easily happy or angry.

4. Tension pain: usually caused by tension, with tension headache being the most common. Patients feel a heaviness, swelling, tightness or stiffness in the head, or a stiff neck. Some also experience muscle pain in the back and limbs. The degree of this pain has no obvious relationship with fatigue, and it cannot be relieved even by rest. The manifestations of pain are often complex. They can be continuous pain or intermittent pain. Some patients also experience dull pain or stabbing pain. In general, the manifestations of tension pain in patients with neurasthenia are diverse, but they are closely related to emotional tension.

5. Insomnia and nightmares: Patients with neurasthenia have decreased intrinsic inhibition in the cerebral cortex, which makes their nerves easily excited. It is difficult for them to cause widespread inhibition during sleep, making it difficult for them to fall asleep or to fall asleep deeply. They are easily awakened or their sleep intervals are too short, or they have difficulty falling asleep again after waking up. If this continues for a long time, it will inevitably become stubborn insomnia. After insomnia, patients feel dizzy and listless during the day, and their study and work efficiency are low, causing great pain. At night I worry about insomnia. As a result, anxiety causes insomnia, and insomnia causes anxiety. The two are mutually causal and have a repeated impact, eventually leading to insomnia caused by neurasthenia.

To sum up, we can see that people who are busy and disorderly in life, and have bad work and rest schedules and sleeping habits, lead to lack of sufficient rest, so that tension and fatigue cannot be recovered. It is easy to cause weakness. For people in different occupations, most of them suffer from neurasthenia, who are mental workers. Most of them are overly stressed at work or study, work too long, have too heavy tasks, and have difficulty in learning. So everyone should reduce stress appropriately. .
