What are the symptoms of neurasthenia?
After long-term investigation and research, psychiatrists in China believe that neurasthenia is a common neurotic disorder.
For a long time, many people do not understand this, so it has not attracted attention, resulting in its high incidence in China, but the medical treatment rate is low.
In general, people with introverted personalities and perfection-seeking personalities are more likely to have a nervous breakdown.
According to the third edition of the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria for Mental Disorders (CCMD3), the core symptoms of neurasthenia are mainly symptoms of brain and body function, characterized by persistent and distressing mental fatigue (such as feeling no spirit, feeling sluggish brain, lack of concentration or non-lasting, poor memory, decreased thinking efficiency) and physical fatigue, and can not be recovered after rest or recreation. It is often accompanied by irritability, nervousness, annoyance, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia and other manifestations.
In simple terms, it can be summarized as the following types of symptoms:

Neurasthenia is the overwork of the mind
Long-term stress and tension are like a hammer that constantly hits the nerves, and when the tension of the nervous system exceeds the tolerance limit one day, it will lead to the occurrence of neurasthenia, and the body is prone to various abnormalities.
Properly relaxing one's spirit also helps to alleviate the disease.
Less "caring" about yourself
People with introverted personalities are more likely to perceive negative feelings such as slight discomfort in the body, feeling bad emotions, and are more likely to have nervous emotions.
Many people report that when they do not pay attention to themselves, bad symptoms and feelings will disappear.
Therefore, people with neurasthenia, it is best to shift their attention from themselves to other places, put more energy on action, and do what they should do, which is a good choice.
Learn to relax
In addition to busy work pressure, people do not cope well with the environment, and the brain remains nervous, which can also cause fatigue.
Therefore, it is very important to correct one's own "rigidity and stubbornness" and learn to live a relaxed and measured life.
Usually, you can find a favorite entertainment activity, you can also do some exercise appropriately, to ensure the combination of work and leisure, to meet the relaxation needs of the nerves.
Adjust sleep
Many people attribute inattention, decreased work ability, fatigue, and physical discomfort to poor sleep, and struggle with ways to improve sleep.
But the result is that they are overly stressed in their sleep and have worse sleep quality.
In fact, in the face of sleep problems, there is no need to be so nervous, maintain a good sleep law, give sleep a little space, will reap better results.
If the quality of sleep does not improve consistently, you may consider seeking help from a doctor.
