Neurasthenia is a condition that arises from prolonged stress and tension, characterized by mental excitability and mental fatigue. It is often accompanied by irritability, heightened sensitivity, sleep disturbances, and muscle tension pain. These symptoms cannot be attributed to physical brain disorders or other psychiatric conditions, and their severity fluctuates, often correlating with psychosocial factors.
The causes of neurasthenia can be varied, including the patient's personality traits such as low self-esteem, sensitivity, suspicion, lack of confidence, or impatience. Individuals who are prone to anxiety and impulsiveness are more susceptible to developing neurasthenia.
Patients with neurasthenia often experience insomnia and poor memory, frequently forgetting things. If the aforementioned clinical symptoms appear, it is advisable to seek a comprehensive medical evaluation at a hospital.
