Neurasthenia can be treated in the following ways:

1. Medication: Under the guidance of a physician, medications such as mecobalamin tablets, vitamin B1 tablets, and Anshen Bunaoye (a traditional Chinese medicine) may be used. These medications can improve nerve function and alleviate related symptoms. However, it is important to closely monitor your condition during treatment to avoid adverse drug reactions.

2. Psychotherapy: Psychological counseling or therapy can help adjust mindset, regulate emotions, and reduce negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, thereby alleviating symptoms of neurasthenia.

3. Physical Therapy: Physical therapies such as exercise, massage, or the use of physical therapy devices can help relax muscles, relieve overall tension, and improve neurological and mental status.

4. Adjustment of Daily Life: Arrange work and rest schedules reasonably, ensuring adequate sleep and rest; avoid excessive fatigue, engage in appropriate exercise to strengthen physical health, and maintain balanced dietary habits, consuming sufficient nutrients, especially proteins and B vitamins.

5. Avoid Stimulants: Quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, and avoid caffeine and other stimulants to prevent worsening of symptoms.
