Know Mental Illness Developed Because of Stress

Stress, in the opinion of most psychiatrists, need not necessarily be treated with medication. It can be solved with psychotherapy and changes in lifestyle. But mental illnesses that arise from stress, such as depression, Panic Syndrome and generalized anxiety disorder, do require psychiatric monitoring. Neuropsychiatrist Rubens Pitliuk of the Albert Einstein Hospital explains that medications kill physical symptoms and improve sleep quality. "With this, the person has more cold head and energy to seek solutions," he says.

Depression is marked by a deep and constant sense of hopelessness and despair, which interferes with a person's ability to work, study, sleep, eat and perform previously enjoyable activities.

The disease occurs in men and women of any age. But it affects the women more. There are two to three depressed women for every man. The reason for this is uncertain. Doctors believe that there are genetic and hormonal influences. But it may also be that the disease in men is not well reported, as they tend to look for less help. Male depression is more related to irritability, anger and drug and alcohol abuse.

Of all psychiatric disorders, depression is the one that best responds to drug treatment, with good results in about 85% of cases . There are several types of medications used to treat depression. Most relieve symptoms by increasing the supply of chemicals, called neurotransmitters, to the brain. The remedies take about two weeks to start working and can not be suddenly abandoned, or there is a high chance of relapse.

Panic Syndrome is already characterized by bouts of approximately ten minutes in which the person feels tremors, dry mouth, tachycardia, shortness of breath, malaise in the belly or chest, suffocation and dizziness, among other annoyances. Psychologist Adriana de Araújo points out that those who suffer from evil live in constant shock, because they do not know when the attacks will come. "In addition, it is very often the feeling that something tragic, such as sudden death or madness, is about to happen."

Treatments, according to Adriana, often combine the use of drugs prescribed by psychiatrists and cognitive behavioral therapy. The specialist says that the healing process takes between six months and a year, at least. "If treatment is discontinued at the first signs of improvement, 80% of patients will relapse within four to six weeks," he said. Finally, generalized anxiety disorder brings a feeling of unexplained agony, which may be associated with cold in the belly, tightness in the chest, heart racing, tremors and shortness of breath. Normally chronic, accompanying the patient for several years, the disease causes an exaggerated concern with various daily activities, compromising the person's social and professional life.

According to Pitliuk, anxiolytics are used for short treatments. "But they can not be taken for a long time because of the risk of addiction," he says. When drug use needs to be done over a long period, antidepressants, neuroleptics or beta-blockers are preferred, he says. The neuropsychiatrist also recommends psychotherapy, meditation, yoga, tai chi chuan, plus more pleasures and less duties in life.
