Causes of the disease

Neurosis - a protracted nervous disorder, which is characterized by frequent changes in the psychoemotional state. With this disease, there is a decrease in mental abilities, physical weakness, the appearance of obsessive thoughts and hysteria.

The leading factor provoking the disease is unresolved internal conflicts or constant external pressure. Disease may occur due to a strong mental overstrain or prolonged unrest.

According to the definition, neurosis is a morbid state of the body, which is caused by prolonged disturbances in the work of the nervous system. Disease is a consequence of increased activity of the psyche with a large number of synchronous processes occurring in the cerebral cortex of the nervous processes. This is the result of exhaustion of the nervous system due to short-term or long-term external stimuli.

Important! The cause of the disease is the presence of 2 main factors: too strong stimulus and individual personality characteristics. The manifestation of a neurosis is how a woman perceives and interprets a stress factor.

Promotes the emergence of neurosis various disorders of health and behavior. The risk group includes women who lead an incorrect lifestyle, do not pay due attention to the work and rest regime, constantly experience mental stress. The cause of the disease may be the activities that the woman and her attitude to her work are engaged in.

Neurosis is not inherited. But many doctors say otherwise, as often cases of the disease are observed in relatives. The manifestation of the disease depends more on the conditions in which the woman is, but one can not exclude a hereditary predisposition to pathology.

Sometimes neurosis arises not only because of prolonged experiences or in an unfavorable environment. Too bright positive emotions also cause illness. Sometimes a hysterical state can be a convenient behavior, an advantageous woman, when she manipulates with the help of hysterics.

Causes of neurosis in women:

• inability to respond properly to stress;
• excessive working capacity;
• lack of proper rest;

• self-flagellation;
• addiction to alcoholic beverages and drugs;

Important! From the point of view of biochemistry, the cause of neurosis is a deficiency or excess of neurotransmitters. Such failures make a woman too susceptible to the effects of a variety of irritants. The patient is not able to correctly assess the situation and find an adequate solution to her problem.

Classification and types

Types of neurosis in women:

• hysterical;
• neurasthenia;
• anxiety disorder;
• obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The hysterical nature of the disease is manifested in the woman's too stigmatized and demonstrative behavior. In this way, she tries to attract the attention of others. Often a woman sobs loudly, yells, even beats convulsively.

An absolutely healthy girl can simulate the symptoms of a disease in order to achieve this in this way. During a real hysterical neurosis, seizures with tonic convulsions often occur.

The woman's face in such cases blushes or, conversely, becomes white, like chalk. During an attack the patient's eyes are closed, however, the pupils react to light. Preceded by a seizure, uncaused crying or wild laughter. During hysteria, pain is dulled, it can walk on hot charcoal or broken glass and feel nothing.

Neurasthenia is sometimes called astheno-neurotic syndrome. Another disease is called the syndrome of chronic fatigue. Whatever the woman does, she quickly gets tired. Any remarks in her address she takes too close to heart.

Because of any trifle can cry. It can be hard for a woman to concentrate on something, mental faculties are reduced. She's losing her temper over trifles. Often in a depressed state, suffers from depression. This condition is characterized by sleep disturbances and lack of appetite.

Medicamentous treatment of adults includes sedative preparations of plant origin, antidepressants, anxiolytics, tranquilizers of benzodiazepine series, vitamin complexes (especially vitamin B). If the cause of the disease is a violation of the blood supply to the brain, then nootropic drugs are needed.

• Sibazon;
• Relanium;
