Causes of neurasthenia

Neurasthenia is a very common disease. Such a disease is very harmful to human health. If it is not treated in time, it will cause great damage to all aspects of the human body. Especially for office workers, it is very easy to suffer from such a disease. This is also caused by excessive work pressure. Therefore, after such a disease occurs, it also needs timely treatment. What is the specific cause of neurasthenia?

Many people don’t know the specific causes of neurasthenia, so when choosing it, you must be careful not to be casual, and when such a disease occurs, you must also pay attention to choosing the appropriate treatment method.

Causes of neurasthenia:

1. Pavlov believed that people with weak and intermediate types of higher nervous activity are prone to neurasthenia. This type of individual often appears to be withdrawn, timid, sensitive, suspicious, impatient, or easily nervous.

2. Excessive tension in the nervous system, long-term psychological conflicts and mental trauma causing negative emotional experiences, irregular life, excessive fatigue and lack of adequate rest can all be causes of this disease. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, my country conducted a large number of investigations and studies on the causes of neurasthenia, and believed that excessive tension in the nervous system was one of the main causes of the disease. The survey data on neurasthenia among people of different occupations by Li Congpei et al. (1959) and Liu Xiehe et al. (1960) showed that the incidence rate was highest among those doing mental work. More than half of the patients reported excessive stress during work or study, mainly mental activities. Not only does the mental activity time last too long, but the work tasks are too heavy; studying or working is difficult. Especially those mental tasks that require particularly strict requirements and high concentration are more likely to cause excessive tension and fatigue.

3. Infection, poisoning, malnutrition, endocrine disorders, craniocerebral trauma and physical illness can also be the causes of this disease.

4. Negative emotional experience caused by long-term psychological conflicts and mental trauma is another common cause of this disease. Inability to adapt to study and work, family disputes, improper handling of marriage and love issues, and tense interpersonal relationships mostly cause contradictions and inner conflicts in the patients' minds and become the source of long-term pain. For example, the sudden death of a loved one, major family misfortune, setbacks in life, etc. can also cause negative emotional experiences such as sadness and pain, leading to neurasthenia.

5. A busy and disorderly life, a disruption of work and rest schedules and sleeping habits, and a lack of adequate rest result in the inability to recover from tension and fatigue, which are also risk factors for neurasthenia.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the causes of neurasthenia. To prevent such diseases, we also need to have a normal lifestyle, which will be of great help in preventing such diseases. At the same time, it will prevent the human body from developing other diseases and allow it to develop healthily. In addition, a reasonable diet is also the best.
