Astheno-neurotic syndrome is a complex disorder of higher nervous activity and cannot be ignored. Treatment of astheno-neurotic syndrome with sleep disturbance and a feeling of weakness and constant fatigue has its own characteristics. For this purpose, the Transfiguration Clinic uses modernized neurometabolic rehabilitation programs. Therapy is selected and carried out individually, depending on the specifics of the formation and functioning of the body.
Astheno-neurotic syndrome has a cumulative property and occurs as a result of serious psychological and physical stress. The clinic’s specialists effectively combat problems by conducting individual rehabilitation therapy based on identified cause-and-effect relationships.
We select methods for treating astheno-neurotic syndrome strictly individually, so the effectiveness reaches 100%, and the duration of therapy is reduced several times, unlike other methods.
Treatment of astheno-neurotic syndrome in the clinic
Astheno-neurotic syndrome can be considered as a pathologically modified version of the adaptation of the nervous system in response to physical and mental stress, intoxication, vascular and hormonal disruptions or disorders. Recently, asthenic and neurotic disorders of the nervous system have become particularly widespread. Therefore, in the treatment of astheno-neurotic conditions, the need to use specific complex drug therapy is of particular importance. Due to the fact that the main leading link of astheno-neurotic syndrome are pathological processes associated with the functioning of higher nervous activity, the need to use complex neurometabolic therapy comes to the fore.
Treatment of astheno-neurotic syndrome requires the use of both medicinal and non-medicinal methods. Biological therapy involves the use of immunomodulators, vitamin therapy and correctors, as well as the use of other means depending on the symptoms and causes of the pathology. In mild cases, staying in sanatorium-resort institutions, where a set of specific procedures are carried out, may be effective.
Non-medicinal methods
Treatment of astheno-neurotic syndrome without the use of medications usually does not bring good, lasting results. However, in a set of measures to combat this pathology, the need for non-drug methods is obvious. The choice of these methods is made together with the attending physician on an individual basis. The range of such tools is quite wide.
Basic non-drug methods of treating astheno-neurotic syndrome
- Psychotherapy;
- Hypnotherapy;
- Selection of daily routine;
- A set of physical activities;
- Music therapy;
- Physiotherapy;
- Light therapy;
- Physiotherapy;
- Water procedures;
- Massage.

If astheno-neurotic syndrome is not treated
At the time of this disorder, the nervous system is weakened and vulnerable to the formation of various mental pathologies. Sleep disturbances become more severe and enter the chronic phase. The patient's general condition is deteriorating and can already be classified as chronic fatigue syndrome. This is the next phase in the development of the disease.
Efficiency and social activity are greatly reduced. A person feels constant, debilitating fatigue that does not go away even after a long rest. Pain appears in different parts of the body. There is a general feeling of malaise with complaints of various disorders of organs and systems.
Problems arise in the sexual sphere and disruptions in women’s menstrual cycles can often occur. Hormonal metabolism is disrupted.
Symptoms increase and depression, anxiety, and obsessions begin to come to the fore. In extreme states of nervous system depletion, acute psychotic states (psychoses) may occur.
Main causes
- Mental and physical overload;
- Unbalanced diet;
- Having allergies;
- Pregnancy and postpartum period;
- Viral and other infections;
- Surgical interventions;
- Stress;
- Alcoholization;
- Chronic somatic diseases.
Symptoms of astheno-neurotic syndrome
The manifestation of this disease is very diverse and depends on the individual parameters of the formation of the nervous system. However, there are the most common complaints.
Astheno-neurotic syndrome is a pathological condition of higher nervous activity, which manifests itself in the form of a feeling of constant fatigue, complaints of headaches, sleep disturbances, and appetite. A person begins to experience difficulties with memory and concentration, performance decreases, and laziness appears. Rapid depletion of nervous activity resources leads to increased irritability, a decline in mood, and an increased level of anxiety. A person becomes more suspicious, suspicious, loud sounds (music), strong odors (perfumes, deodorants), bright lights begin to irritate him. It is not uncommon for the background mood to have a wave-like character, from elevated to depressive.
Astheno-neurotic syndrome significantly affects the quality of life of a person and the people around him. This is a borderline mental condition that requires the fastest possible contact with a psychiatrist and the need for comprehensive treatment.
Chronic fatigue syndrome can significantly affect the quality of life of the patient and those around him, therefore it is considered a serious psychosomatic disease that requires complex treatment.

Astheno-neurotic syndrome: diagnosis
Astheno-neurotic syndrome can develop in both children and adults. It is usually very difficult to diagnose due to the presence of somatic complaints that come to the fore. Teenagers often complain of headaches, pain in the heart, fatigue, and drowsiness.
In adults, the symptoms of asthenia are usually much more pronounced and varied. Manifestations of the disease are usually observed more intensely in the afternoon, and reach a maximum in the evening. Weakness and apathy, lack of desire to do any work and decreased concentration are noted. When performing exercises that require mental effort, difficulties in making decisions, absent-mindedness, irritability, and memory impairment are noted.
Emotional stress leads to increased symptoms, which can ultimately provoke the development of depression, neuroses, and neurasthenia.
In addition to the main symptoms, disorders of the autonomic nervous system may come to the fore, such as:
- tachycardia, palpitations, interruptions;
- blood pressure surges;
- increased sweating, feeling of chills and heat;
- decreased appetite, impaired digestive function;
- headache, dizziness;
- decreased libido.
Differential diagnosis
Astheno-neurotic syndrome often accompanies the initial stages of such somatic diseases as: Arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, angina pectoris; cerebrovascular accidents; atherosclerosis and others.
Therefore, we carry out differentiated diagnostics to exclude somatic pathology.
If you notice the above symptoms, then you should not delay. Make an appointment with our specialist and undergo differential diagnostics. Diagnosis of asthenia includes a comprehensive examination, the purpose of which is to identify the pathology that caused the disease.
Symptoms of the disease
Typically, the symptoms of asthenovegetative syndrome are characterized by a gradual increase, in very rare cases they can be expressed quickly and vividly. Since asthenia is translated from Greek as impotence, the very first clinical sign is considered to be fatigue. Then:
- performance decreases;
- absent-mindedness and lapses in short-term memory appear;
- it becomes difficult to concentrate on one object and formulate your thoughts;
- restlessness, anxiety, irritability appear;
- Possible disturbances in the functioning of the genital organs (sexual dysfunction).
In addition to this, patients may develop hypochondria, which results in constant worry about their health. And this is understandable, since they may also be bothered by: tachycardia, shortness of breath, severe headaches, digestive disorders, loss of appetite, severe sweating, cold feet. Later, tinnitus and urination problems may appear. But this is hardly worth allowing; it is better to consult a doctor much earlier.
Astheno-neurotic syndrome: we recommend
It is recommended to eat foods rich in vitamin B and tryptophan (meat, bananas, beans, cheese and cottage cheese, dairy products, etc.). The amino acid tryptophan is responsible for the normal functioning of the nervous system - sleep, relaxation and emotional state, and is a source of the “happiness hormone” - serotonin.
Qualified specialists at the Transfiguration Clinic will help you create an effective therapeutic program, taking into account both the true cause of the disease and individual factors.
