Neurosis is a condition of a person who has been experiencing stressful situations for a long time. This disease can cause severe exhaustion and damage to the nervous system.
Symptoms of the disease can be divided into three parts: mental (fear, depression, obsessive thoughts) and emotional (tension, changeable mood, guilt, impaired self-perception, fearfulness, insecurity, shame, problems in interpersonal communication) and physical (sleep disturbance, sexual problems, painful conditions).
The impetus for the manifestation of neurosis is stressful situations, life events, important changes in life. The prehistory of a possible illness and the individual structure of the personality, together with life events, decide whether a person will remain healthy or he will develop neurosis. In this struggle, many factors play a role: individual life experience, internal strength, body resistance, compensation mechanisms, knowledge, personality strength, social circumstances, the presence or absence of support.
These include:
- Inherited traits:.
- Negative external influence:
- Character traits:
- Stress factors:
- Constitutional factors:
The long dominant notion that an event once experienced in childhood will necessarily lead to neurosis in adulthood is today untenable.
