Neurasthenia

Neurasthenia-what is neurasthenia?

The neurasthenia name is the first of all, the U.S. grid, Tim Beard that neurasthenia is a functional disease and nervous system organic disorder, the patient most of the neurotic qualities. That neurasthenia excessive stress due to some long-standing mental factors cause brain function, resulting in a weakening of the mental activity.The neurasthenia mainly for the easily excited and rapid fatigue, such as dizziness, headache, brain swelling, insomnia, dreaminess, recent memory decline, difficulty concentrating, low efficiency, irritability, fatigue, weakness, photophobia, fearsound, tinnitus, vertigo, apathetic, etc., and often have a variety of physical discomfort, such as heartbeat, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, frequent urination, nocturnal emission, and so on.

Neurasthenia - Define
Neurasthenia neurasthenia, "literally translated as" weak nerves ". Neurasthenia is chronic fatigue, mood swings, neurological disorders, and easy to excitement and fatigue or failure, accompanied by sleep disorders, neurosis.

The neurasthenia name is first of all, the grid Farm Beard that neurasthenia is a functional disease and nervous system organic disorder, the patient most of the neurotic qualities. That neurasthenia excessive stress due to some long-standing mental factors cause brain function, resulting in a weakening of the mental activity.


Neurasthenia - generateNeurasthenia neurasthenia refers to excessive stress due to some long-standing mental factors cause brain function, resulting in a weakening of mental activity. The main clinical features are easily excited and easy fatigue. Often accompanied by a variety of physical discomfort and sleep disorders, many patients with premorbid susceptible of a certain quality or personality.
Most scholars believe that the mental factor is the main reason for neurasthenia. Anything that can be caused by the continuing tension mood and long-term inner conflicts a number of factors, neural activity is strong and long-lasting state of tension, more than the tolerance limits of the nervous system tension can occur neurasthenia.
Fatigue and lack of rest is excited about the process of excessive tension; not satisfied with the present situation is the inhibition process is over-stretched; frequent changes in living environment and not suited to excessive stress flexibility.
The activities of the human central nervous system, play a leading role in the activities of the body. The nerve cells of the cerebral cortex has a very high tolerance, under normal circumstances does not easily lead to neurasthenia or failure. After the tense mental, though fatigue, but can be restored after a short open space or sleep, however, the neural activity of the strong tension, once beyond the tolerance limit, it may produce neurasthenia.
Neurasthenia - pathogenesisNeurasthenia, mental factors is an important cause of the induced neurasthenia. Where can cause neural activity are over-stretched and associated with negative emotions may be neurasthenia risk factors. Such as the death of relatives, family Sui, business failure, interpersonal tensions, the rhythm of life upside down and long-term psychological conflicts are not resolved, may trigger this disease.Second, personality traits: sensitive, suspicious, timid, subjective, poor self-control. Obvious personality traits may be due to the general spirit of the stimulus onset; personality characteristics are not significant shall be more intense or more long-lasting mental stimulation after onset.Third, the physical factors: a variety of somatic diseases can impair physical function and a variety of factors can contribute to the occurrence of this disease. The pathogenesis has not been elucidated, the Pavlovian school of thought: on the basis of character traits or physical factors, psychological factors, can the central nervous system functions long-term excessive stress, resulted in the inhibition of functional activity weakened and excitement relative hyperactivity, thus they occur in excitable fatigue state, but also weakens the plant nerve center in the subcortical control and regulation, the emergence of the symptoms of a variety of autonomic dysfunction.
Neurasthenia - the main factor1, predisposing factors: mainly refers to a variety of debilitating social and psychological factors. Although the spirit of medical school a lot, but the view of the relationship of mental stress and neurasthenia, there is consensus.
Generally believed that all kinds caused by the over-stretched social and psychological factors in the nervous system function will be the precipitating factor of this disease. With the deepening of China's reform and opening up, while rapid economic development, social industrialization, population urbanization, dense living, traffic congestion, intense competition, unemployment, layoffs, personal income disparity, some of the undesirable phenomena of social existence and so make people nervous. Life events that occur around us, too many great changes will be people worrying about.
Such as the ups and downs of investors on the stock, too much input, can also cause serious psychological burden, and ultimately lead to neurasthenia. Long-term mental or psychological trauma.
Such as family disputes and unhappy marriage, romance, tension between the neighborhood, but also make people mentally too nervous, mental overloading neurasthenia. A lot of research shows that, within one year of experience in the neurasthenia patients before the onset of the frequency of life events was significantly higher.
Mental activity for too long, the learning burden too heavy, especially in poor academic performance, when the frustration of the major exam, often resulting in neural overburdened, students neurasthenia important reason. Modern studies have shown that mental stimulation can cause endocrine and autonomic dysfunction, such as panic stimulation can promote the release of adrenaline, and thus give rise to rapid heart rate, flushed face sweating, elevated blood pressure. These internal changes in the environment may cause brain dysfunction, brain electrical activity is abnormal.
Susceptible ferrite factors: Dialectics tells us that internal factors are the basis of change, external factors are the conditions of things change. Occurring in neurasthenia, too, why, under the same living and working environment, and some people suffering from neurasthenia, and most people do not. There is a susceptibility the ferritic factors, including genetic and personality type, age, gender and other factors.
Neurasthenia and personality have a great relationship, is generally believed that the introverted, emotionally unstable, more performance for the sentimental; anxiety, conservative, quiet, and so on, prone to neurasthenia. They are often special interests did not, almost no very pleased. Faith and good health, eat supplements, are very sensitive to change their lifestyles, too much attention to their own feelings, like medical books, vulnerable to the medical books affect and discomfort. Pavlov believes that human higher nervous activity types are weak and intermediate-type, prone to neurasthenia. Such individuals is often manifested as withdrawn, timid, sensitive, suspicious, irritable or failing nervous.
, Maintaining factors: refers to patients in which the social and cultural background and individual disease after additional feedback, the disease form a vicious cycle, and delayed healing. During World War II survivors in Nazi concentration camps, long-term detention, almost 100 percent are suffering from anxiety, depression, nervousness, insomnia and other nervous symptoms. If a person to relocate to a language barrier, not the same habits, but also allows him to produce adverse psychological reactions, and also to produce neurasthenia. The development of industrialization and urbanization, neurasthenia prevalence increase, such 1946-1948 neurosis prevalence rate was 1.2 per thousand 15 years, rising to 7.8%. Including neurasthenia patients is also increasing. In general, neurasthenia etiology and pathogenesis are still not fully understood. But most psychiatrists believe that is due to psychosocial stress than the patient can bear, nerve function caused by too much tension, and this involves many of the social, family environment, psychological, personality.


Neurasthenia - clinical manifestationsA debilitating symptoms: mental and physical fatigue. Manifestations of the spirit of Mi wilt, fatigue, weakness, drowsiness sleepiness, confused, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, nearly forgotten things, the work is not sustainable, reduced efficiency, but of normal intelligence, weak, lack of confidence and courage, easy to despair.Second, the emotional symptoms: easily excited mood and irritability due to the small things, sorrow, kiss irritability or anxiety, distress, after the depressed endless.

Neurasthenia - neurasthenia magnetic methodThe magnetic method is based on the method of the magnetic field acting on the human treatment of diseases. Magnetic fields affect the human body current distribution, the movement of charged particles, the permeability of the membrane system and bio-polymer magnetic moment orientation, physiological and biochemical processes of tissue change, resulting in analgesia, swelling, promote blood and lymph circulation and so on. Ease the treatment of neurasthenia, the magnetic method is easy to use, safe and without side effects, significant effect of the new method.
Such as the commonly used analgesic sleep pad is based on Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet as the main raw material, the use of the magnetic field of Nd-Fe-B high-tech bio-and nano far-infrared dual role to play blood, analgesic, sedative, hypnotic and eliminate anxiety role, the role of speed, security, ease of use advantages. When the human body bioelectricity, bio-magnetic anomalies to the appropriate strength of the magnetic field, the role of the appropriate parts of the human body, the same poles repel electromagnetic induction and magnetic and magnetic, different poles attract "principle, but also make the human body in the abnormal state of bioelectricity, biomagnetism, a series of changes, this change will become normal human cells against the conventional electromagnetic movement and causes better and to enhance and improve immune function and improve the body's resistance to diseases. In addition, because the purposes of neurasthenia, magnetic therapy, the patient is without pain and discomfort, without any damage, so it is easy for patients to accept.

Second, drug therapy: symptomatic treatment. Symptoms of anxiety and excitement, irritability, diazepam, estazolam good Jing'an given; serious insomnia may be a fluorine stability, lorazepam, hypnotics; depressive symptoms can be used small doses of tricyclic antidepressants . Chinese proprietary or proprietary treatment can also be selected on the basis of the dialectical theory of governance.
, Insulin hypoglycemia treatment: only applies to individual physical weakness, anxiety, loss of appetite and weight loss patients. Spa therapy, hydrotherapy, head resonance spark, excitability, DC from import.

Neurasthenia - nervous breakdown preventionFunction of the nervous system over-stretched, there is a negative emotional experience, and difficult to adapt to working and living law, neurasthenia is more likely to occur. Neurasthenia is more common in young people, the elderly, neurasthenia should exclude the body the possibility of organic disease.Neurasthenia under certain conditions can be prevented. Because neurasthenia pathophysiological characteristics of mild brain dysfunction, rather than organic disease of the brain. From the cause, the disease is caused by mental factors. But in the same mental factors, and some people can the disease, while others are safe and sound shows and different personalities of each person's qualities and transformation of the external environment and adapt ability. If older people can avoid or reduce adverse psychological factors of human influence or improve the transformation and adaptability of the human body to external harmful factors, you can reduce or avoid the occurrence of this disease.
For example, to develop good interest. Interest in the good interest and bad points of interest. Interest, not only can enhance brain function, improve work efficiency, but also to prevent nervous breakdown. Because you engage in any activity, if you harbor a strong interest, can be done faster and better and sustainable long time without fatigue; Conversely, if the lack of interest, not easily done faster and better, and is prone to fatigue, or even difficult to continue. If you are reluctant to do it will cause brain dysfunction, the long run, is likely to occur neurasthenia.
