Neurosis is a stereotypical term for emotional states of various origins, related to tension, fear, emotional overload, phobias, and concentration disorders. It is a series of disorders and ailments that, if left untreated, lead to complications and may become more and more deep. Neurosis is primarily a mental state and it affects the state of our well-being and the comprehensive functioning of the body. It is the symptoms sent by our body that allow us to determine what kind of neurosis we suffer from.
The causes of neurosis are usually varied, depending on our adaptation disorders, resulting from social combinations such as work, our relationships, various experiences caused by stress and various experiences of a traumatic nature. Many neurotic disorders are very common, but they do not require specialized treatment, psychotherapy or appropriate medications. We try to deal with them ourselves and live as normally as possible. However, they significantly affect the quality of our lives. So what are the most common symptoms of modern neurosis?
Neurosis is a disorder often confused with other disease symptoms caused by, among others, gastric ulcer, circulatory disorders or various types of neurological diseases. It happens to confuse them with the so-called neurosis resulting from overwork. Often the path of a patient suffering from neurosis from the moment of the first symptoms to determining the cause and making a diagnosis is long and winding.
The most common symptoms of neurosis in most patients are:
— pains of various origins, including headaches, spine, various types of tension pains,
– chills, feeling hot or cold, excessive sweating,
— respiratory problems, cardiac disorders, shortness of breath, suffocation,
– abdominal pain, stomach pain, flatulence,
— muscle tension, especially in the jaw area,
— increased stimulation of the senses of sight and hearing and their special sensitivity to various types of stimuli,
– failure of various types of organs,
– balance disorders,
— reduced ability to focus and impaired concentration.
Neurosis also has a significant impact on how we perceive the world around us and the phenomena occurring in it. We lose control over our senses, we experience all kinds of irrational fears and phobias and we are unable to overcome them. We lose the desire for new challenges and our motivation to work weakens. Problems with concentration and sleep begin. We no longer enjoy the joys of everyday life. We exceed the expectations of others, create tension and frustration.
Types of neuroses and the level of their severity cause great diagnostic difficulties. This often requires the cooperation of many specialists. It is important not to ignore the symptoms and the willingness to undertake effective treatment to improve the quality of life.
