The main pathogenesis of neurasthenia is the weakening of cerebral cortex inhibition process. Internal inhibition, also known as active inhibition, is not innate, but formed through training after birth. Its essence is that the cells in the cerebral cortex actively enter the inhibitory state. The so-called self-cultivation, patience and self-control in people's life are all manifestations of internal inhibition. When the internal inhibition process is weakened, the excitability of nerve cells is relatively increased, which can produce a strong and rapid response to the outside world, thus consuming a lot of energy of nerve cells, which is characterized by easy excitement, fatigue, insomnia and impatience. Medication adjustment can choose traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine can be adjusted, and you can drink depressed ammonia tea. Soothe the nerves, improve intelligence, regulate and improve neurasthenia.

Neurasthenia can be treated with combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine. Because diseases are mainly caused by psychological factors, self-regulation is also very important and necessary in the process of disease rehabilitation. Personal self-regulation and cooperation are indispensable links and factors to ensure the curative effect of drugs and completely solve problems. Therefore, understanding neurasthenia and self-regulation can not be ignored. We know and understand neurasthenia, how to do self-care and conditioning? Start from the following aspects.

I. Self mental health care

1. Keep a happy mood. Optimistic mood and relaxed mood can eliminate anxiety, relieve the tension of central nervous system, reduce the ideological burden, drive away fatigue, make people refreshed and full of confidence, which is of great benefit to the treatment of neurasthenia. As the saying goes, "Laugh, you are still young". Smile with bright eyes and rosy cheeks. The muscles of your chest and abdomen move with it, and your lungs are fully expanded, the tension of the stomach wall is increased, the peristalsis is strengthened, and the secretion of digestive juice is increased, thus improving the functions of various organs of the respiratory and digestive systems. When you laugh, your blood circulation is accelerated, your metabolism is vigorous, and your disease resistance is strengthened.

2. Overcome bad emotions. It is normal that the world is full of contradictions. We should face it correctly, be good at resolving it and maintain a good attitude. Practice has proved that negative emotions can be overcome through self-psychological care. Health care can be achieved in the following six ways:

① Rationalization. Is to find reasons and comfort yourself.

② Exhaust method. A way to express anger through language to gain inner happiness.

③ Transfer method. That is, to change or weaken bad emotions by taking some measures to divert attention. For example, watching TV, listening to music, playing chess, playing ball games, walking and so on. It can relax the tension and relieve the bad mood.

④ Humor method. Humor is the regulator of bad mood. Proper humor can often relax the tense situation, make the embarrassing scene disappear in laughter, and relieve anger and anxiety.

⑤ Patience method. When encountering setbacks, misfortunes, unpleasantness and anger, consciously restrain yourself and endure inner pain and unhappiness. Patience cannot solve the problem, but it can prevent excessive behavior. In addition, looking at the problem dialectically and understanding something from another angle or development angle can also eliminate or reduce psychological tension and make the mood calm.

⑥ ascending method. Guide the motives and desires that are not recognized by the society to a lofty direction, and make them creative and constructive. This is an advanced catharsis of bad emotional reactions, which leads the energy aroused by emotions to the beneficial aspects for people, themselves and society.

Second, music therapy.

In ancient China, there was a record of music treating neurasthenia. "The Book of Rites" said: "The musician is heart-warming, and the musician is virtuous." Music can affect people's physiology, feelings and behaviors in many ways. Modern medicine shows that music can regulate the function of mental nervous system, cultivate personality, enlighten wisdom, improve attention, enhance memory, eliminate negative emotions such as depression, anxiety and tension, relieve muscle tension, eliminate fatigue, stimulate spirit and physical strength, and improve labor efficiency. Music directly or indirectly affects people's health through human vibration, singing, coordination, emotion and influence.

Music therapy should pay attention to the choice of music, rhythm, melody, harmony, melody and other factors. It varies from person to person and from mood to mood, which is suitable for you to achieve the purpose of relieving emotions, relieving tension and maintaining a good mood.

Third, diet therapy.

The diet of neurasthenia patients should be light, mainly flat and tonic. Avoid spicy, irritating, warm and dry food. Don't eat liquor and alcoholic beverages, strong tea, coffee and other exciting foods. Eating too little at dinner is often due to emptiness in the stomach, strong contraction of the stomach, waking up from hunger and reducing sleep time; If you eat too much and are too full, the full stomach will oppress the surrounding internal organs, which will stimulate the cerebral cortex and affect sleep. You should not drink too much water before going to bed, which will increase nocturia and affect sleep. Chinese medicine "stomach disharmony leads to anxiety", which is the truth.

Some foods contribute to the treatment and rehabilitation of neurasthenia. One kind is foods that can regulate nerves and have sedative and hypnotic effects, such as millet, wheat, walnuts, lotus seeds, longan, lily, mulberry, lettuce, milk, eggshell, bread, red dates, apples, bananas, white lentils, auricularia auricula, laver, kelp, pig heart, turtle and so on. Especially millet, Chinese medicine believes that it is sweet and slightly cold, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves. Modern research shows that millet contains high tryptophan, which can promote the secretion of serotonin by brain cells and has sedative and hypnotic effects. The other is food rich in zinc and copper. It is found that zinc deficiency can affect the energy metabolism and redox process of brain cells. Copper is closely related to human nervous system, and the lack of copper in human body will make the internal inhibition process of nervous system out of balance. Therefore, neurasthenia should consciously eat more foods rich in zinc and copper in their diet. Foods rich in zinc include oysters, herring, lean meat, yellow croaker, animal liver and kidney, dairy products, walnuts, apples, peanuts, chestnuts, egg yolks and sesame seeds. Foods rich in copper include squid, squid, clams, clams, clams, mussels, snails, loaches, mutton, mushrooms, peas, broad beans, corn and hard fruits.
