How can neurasthenia be improved?

Generally, neurasthenia may be caused by long-term irregular作息 (daily routines), excessive mental strain, anxiety states, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, depressive episodes, and other factors. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, identify the underlying cause, and improve symptoms under a doctor's guidance through lifestyle adjustments, medication, and other methods. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Long-term irregular daily routines: Staying up late or having inconsistent sleep patterns prevents the brain’s nerves from recovering due to continuous fatigue. Aim to go to bed before 11 p.m. every night, avoid electronic devices one hour before bedtime, drink warm milk to aid sleep, and ensure 7–8 hours of high-quality sleep.

2. Excessive mental strain: Prolonged periods of intense thinking or concentration can disrupt the balance between neural excitation and inhibition. Take a 10-minute break every hour during work, engage in light stretching, and avoid more than three consecutive hours of mental labor.

3. Anxiety state: Chronic mental stress leading to emotional anxiety increases the burden on the nervous system. Follow your doctor’s instructions to use medications such as Oryzanol tablets, Vitamin B1 tablets, or Anshen Bunao Liquid, and practice 15 minutes of deep-breathing meditation daily to relieve anxiety.

4. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction: Abnormal nerve regulation may lead to symptoms such as dizziness and palpitations. Patients should take medications like Mecobalamin tablets, Propranolol Hydrochloride tablets, and Vitamin B12 tablets as prescribed, combined with regular physical exercise to regulate nervous system function.

5. Depressive episode: Low mood accompanied by neurasthenic symptoms, reduced interest, and loss of energy. Medications such as Sertraline Hydrochloride tablets, Escitalopram Oxalate tablets, and Mirtazapine tablets should be taken as directed by a physician, along with cognitive behavioral therapy to improve overall condition.

In daily life, increase intake of nutritious foods such as eggs and nuts, and avoid stimulants like coffee and strong tea. Communicate regularly with family and friends, cultivate hobbies such as painting or walking to divert attention, and support the recovery of nervous system function.
