Neuroses are not just nervous exhaustion or a bad mood. This is a group of functional mental disorders that arise against the background of deep internal conflicts, psychological trauma, or chronic stress. They are accompanied by a general deterioration in health, emotional instability, sleep disturbances, and various bodily symptoms that often disappear without a physiological cause.
Neurosis does not appear suddenly. At first, so-called pre-neurotic states are formed: anxiety, irritability, restlessness, hypersensitivity to familiar stimuli, and sleep problems. The behavior may be fussy or, conversely, inhibited.
Then there may be a neurotic reaction, a temporary manifestation of certain symptoms that usually goes away on its own. But if this condition lasts for more than two weeks, it is already considered a full-fledged neurosis.
One of the most common symptoms of neurosis is a decrease in vital energy (vigor vitalis ) - a person begins to lose a sense of meaning, joy, and strength.
It manifests itself as a combination of increased irritability and deep fatigue. The person does not tolerate even minor emotional or physical stress, suffers from headaches, palpitations, sweating, and sleep disturbances.
It often occurs in people with a demonstrative personality type. Symptoms can be extremely pronounced: paralysis, loss of sensation, visual or hearing impairment - without any organic disorder. It is an unconscious defense reaction to mental stress.
A person is haunted by intrusive thoughts, fears, or actions that they recognize as absurd but cannot stop. It often manifests itself in the form of phobias, for example, the fear of death or serious illness.
It is manifested by an obsessive belief in the presence of a serious illness, even in the absence of objective medical grounds. It is often combined with constant visits to doctors, reading medical articles, and self-diagnosis.
Unlike clinical depression, in this case the mood is low, but there are no deep ideas of hopelessness or suicidal thoughts. A person often "runs away to work" and remains active, albeit with reduced initiative.
Carl Jung believed that the lack of meaning in life is one of the main causes of neurosis. In his opinion, a third of mental suffering is not related to specific diagnoses, but is the cry of a soul that no longer sees a purpose.
Franz Alexander, one of the founders of psychosomatics, argued that autonomic neuroses are the root cause of many somatic diseases, as repressed experiences manifest through the body. Felix Deutsch generally believed that every organic disease hides a neurosis in miniature. And academician K.M. Bykov called neurosis the beginning of any disease, regardless of its physical nature.
Our team of specialists has developed an effective program of comprehensive treatment of neuroses, which includes:
individual psychotherapy;
transcranial electrical stimulation - a modern non-invasive technique that gently restores the nervous system.
This approach not only alleviates symptoms but also helps to find the deeper causes of the disorder and restore meaning and clarity to life.
Assistance in restoring psychological balance and resources.
Working with anxiety, physical symptoms and fear of losing control
Modern methods of overcoming fears that interfere with life.
Therapy for people with post-traumatic experiences.
A health disorder that occurs due to somatization, that is, the "embodiment" of negative emotions in the body.
Psycho-oncology is psychotherapeutic care for patients with cancer.
