What are the typical symptoms of neurosis?

Common causes of neurosis include genetics, social psychology, quality factors, and occupational characteristics. The most typical symptoms of patients are neurasthenia, long-term headaches, forgetfulness, fatigue, and insomnia, which have a great impact.

1. Symptoms of neurosis include:

1. Clinically, the symptoms of neurosis are divided into many types, the most common of which is neurasthenia. The symptoms include headache, dizziness, fatigue, forgetfulness, insomnia, etc.

2. The characteristic of headache is that it occurs at irregular times and locations. It feels like wearing a hat that is too small and too tight. Sometimes it feels like a bucket of paste is shaking and uncomfortable. Sometimes it even feels like being pricked by many awls.

3. But in general, the symptoms of neurosis are not too severe and can often be relieved by a good mood or aggravated by a bad mood. The characteristic of dizziness is a feeling of heaviness, not true vertigo, there is no feeling of spinning, just a hazy feeling like being drunk.

4. The characteristic of fatigue is that it cannot be relieved after rest, the whole body feels lazy and unwilling to move. Forgetting things is often due to the inability to concentrate and forgetting them in the blink of an eye. Insomnia includes difficulty falling asleep, frequent dreams, early awakening, as well as loss of appetite, palpitations, shortness of breath, back pain, impotence, etc.

2. Four factors that cause neurosis

1. Genetic factors: People in a family with two lines and three generations who have neurosis are prone to neurosis. The heredity discussed here does not mean that neurosis is a hereditary disease, but that susceptibility can be inherited. Whether or not the disease occurs is also affected by many acquired factors. This is the spiritual quality factor we often talk about.

2. Psychosocial factors: changes in marriage, separation of children, reduced interactions with friends, loneliness, impact on life stability, and lack of security can all be triggers of the disease. For some patients, the disease is caused by medical origin. The doctor's inappropriate words, attitude and behavior cause the patients to become suspicious, or the doctor makes an inaccurate diagnosis and repeatedly asks the patients to undergo tests, which causes the patients to suspect that they have a certain disease. Some patients, after suffering from physical illness, become hypochondriac through self-suggestion or association.

3. Susceptibility factors: Susceptibility is also an important basis for the onset of the disease. It has been found that similar attacks of the disease occur in members of the same family. The personality traits of this type of patients are sensitivity, suspicion, subjectivity, stubbornness, cautiousness, excessive concern for the body, and demanding perfection. Male patients have obsessive-compulsive personality before the onset of the disease, while female patients have hysterical personality.

4. Occupational factors: People who engage in highly stressful work, occupations with high psychological pressure and those who do mental work are prone to neurosis. However, hysteria is prone to spread in backward and remote areas and among people with low cultural and educational levels.
