What to do with neurasthenia? Self-massage therapy can relieve symptoms for patients with neurasthenia

Treatment of neurasthenia

First of all, it should be clear that neurasthenia can be cured. Neurasthenia is a mild disorder of the nervous system. There is no tumor or inflammation in the brain. The various causes of neurasthenia can be eliminated. After removing these causes, and then through proper exercise and treatment, the function of the brain can be fully restored. Therefore, we can give a positive answer: neurasthenia is a curable disease. This is not only a medical fact, but also the confidence that patients should first establish for themselves.

Then, we should realize the long-term, comprehensive and complex nature of disease treatment. Abnormalities of the nervous system involve all aspects of daily life. There are many factors that affect the disease, which often recurs and deepens the pain of patients.

In treatment, it is crucial to maintain a good mood. To get rid of unnecessary worries and unnecessary mental burdens, we must first strengthen our ideological cultivation, change our weaknesses in character, learn to be open-minded, cheerful and optimistic. We should be good at finding fun instead of looking for troubles. Even if we encounter difficult or unpleasant things, we should use a calm attitude and objectively analyze them to find solutions. The reason why problems are difficult to solve is not because they cannot be solved, but because we have not found a very suitable method yet. When you can't figure it out by yourself, you should be good at asking others for help. A person's thinking is often narrow, "the person in charge is confused, the bystander is clear", sometimes you get stuck in a "dead end" and the more you think about it, the more you can't figure it out. It is very likely that you will get new inspiration from others when you discuss it, and sometimes you will get guidance and suddenly see the light. Therefore, don't keep the problem heavy in your stomach and be depressed for a long time.

We should learn to control our emotions, restrain our irrational words and deeds, suppress negative emotions and impulsive behaviors, get rid of being controlled by the disease, and turn passivity into initiative. Neurasthenia patients often have bad tempers or poor self-control. Although this is also a symptom of the disease, doctors and our relatives should understand this. But we cannot think that the symptoms are like this anyway, and we cannot be willful and lose our temper subjectively without control. Once we lose our temper, it will affect the normal functions of other systems and organs through the limbic system, autonomic nervous system, and endocrine system of the brain, impacting the balance of the human body's internal environment, which will inevitably increase adverse stimulation to the nervous system, making it more difficult to adjust its function and more unfavorable to treatment. From this point of view, we should watch less tragedies or TV or movies that are very stimulating to us. A good car cannot lack brakes, and a strong nervous system cannot lack the ability to control itself. The exercise and improvement of self-control ability is also the enhancement and recovery process of the inhibition process. Every success in controlling your emotions can be regarded as another small victory over the disease.

Patients who are too impatient should learn to be self-controlled, calm and composed; people with withdrawn personalities should cultivate sociability, liveliness and cheerfulness; people who are indecisive should practice decisiveness (based on careful consideration and courage, not rashness, recklessness and impetuousness) to deal with problems, and not hesitate or worry too much. It is inevitable that anyone will have things that are not well considered or handled properly. For this, we should calmly and realistically summarize the experience and lessons, and not regret or complain too much, or feel depressed. "Every failure is a learning experience" is not necessarily a bad thing. Recall the unpleasant past less, experience the happiness of the present more, and look forward to the beauty of the future more.

Secondly, we need to improve the methods of study and work. Improve work efficiency so that work can be carried out in a compact but not chaotic manner; pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and pay attention to high concentration and do our best in any work. We advocate that the nervous system should be fatigued to a certain extent through work and study. This "certain degree" refers to the individual's physical constitution, especially the tolerance of the nervous system. After work, we should take a positive attitude and choose appropriate methods to rest in time. When resting, don't worry about work, try to improve the effect of rest, and then devote more energy to work and study. There is work and rest, and "high-quality work" and "high-quality rest" are combined rhythmically and harmoniously, so that the nervous system can improve its tolerance through exercise.

Then, physical exercise plays a very important role in treatment.

Because physical labor can exercise the human body, promote the whole body metabolism and enhance the human blood circulation, breathing, digestion and other functions, improve the human body and enhance the human resistance. At the same time, through the induction law of the cerebral cortex, the strong excitement area established by physical labor in the corresponding area of ​​the cerebral cortex drives a part of the area excited by mental labor or mental burden to be more deeply inhibited, thus reducing or avoiding the chance of excessive fatigue in these areas. It can be shown that physical labor has a positive significance for the treatment of neurasthenia. Think about it, it is often mental workers who suffer from this disease, while physical workers rarely suffer from this disease, which is enough to explain the problem.

Finally, drugs are only auxiliary treatments. Do not rely too much on drugs. The role of drugs is to relieve symptoms, so that you can stick to normal work and life, and then give you time to change yourself, so that you will not be depressed due to excessive pain. However, it is impossible to cure the disease by relying solely on drugs, but it will produce harmful drug dependence. Patients should understand that neurasthenia is fundamentally a psychological disease, which requires inner adjustment, exercise regulation, and drug treatment. I believe that the disease can be cured.

A brief discussion on how to treat adolescent neurasthenia

1. Reduce psychological pressure and eliminate emotional tension. Adolescent neurasthenia is mostly caused by excessive psychological pressure, because long-term psychological pressure will inevitably lead to excessive mental tension, thus causing neurasthenia. Therefore, adolescent neurasthenia patients should first recognize that neurasthenia is completely curable; secondly, they should let go of psychological pressure, rest when they need to rest, lower their goals when necessary, and do what they can; finally, they need to slowly experience and understand in real life.

2. Correctly understand the nature of neurasthenia and completely free yourself from pain and bondage. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. It is useless to eliminate the symptoms of adolescent neurasthenia all at once. You must analyze calmly to recognize the nature of neurasthenia and treat it correctly. In fact, although adolescent neurasthenia affects learning, it gives you a chance to face and transcend pain to a certain extent. As long as we can free ourselves from pain and bondage, we can become a brand new person who can release more potential.
