Diagnostic methods

If characteristic symptoms occur, you should consult a specialist. If in doubt, search the Internet for an online test for neurasthenia. If the result is positive, it is important to know which doctor treats the disease. To determine the diagnosis of neurasthenia, contact a neurologist. He carefully collects anamnesis, based on the manifestations of pathology in the patient.

What diagnostic methods are used:

1. CT and MRI of the head. Asthenic neurosis can begin to develop against the background of a brain tumor, neuroinfections or inflammatory diseases. To identify this cause, these types of diagnostics are used.

• Severe poisoning or intoxication;
• Chronic infectious diseases;
• Brain diseases.

Some people perceive these circumstances very painfully, while others may not attach any importance to them at all. Neurosis most often affects people with an innate sensitivity to overload of any kind (physical or emotional).

But neurosis can occur even in a person with very strong nerves, especially if the impact of a significant stimulus is too intense and prolonged for him. High fatigue, short temper, anxiety, phobias, constant irritation and insomnia: all these are symptoms of neurosis and stress. But these same signs also manifest much more severe mental disorders.
