Anxiety disorders

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental states that are accompanied by an unreasonable feeling of fear and anxiety. As a rule, worries have no logical substantiation and are far-fetched. In most cases, anxiety is accompanied by bodily symptoms: muscle cramps, a feeling of a lump in the throat, palpitations, shortness of breath, trembling in the body.

Anxiety disorders are among the most common among neurotic conditions. They lend themselves well to correction, but lack of timely treatment and adequate treatment often leads to serious consequences, up to and including disability.

Diagnostic methods

If this condition is suspected in our clinic, the patient undergoes a comprehensive examination). This allows not only to confirm the diagnosis, but also to find its cause - of psychogenic or somatic nature, and to direct efforts exactly to its elimination.
Various tests and questionnaires help to establish a definitive diagnosis. The doctor also examines the patient's medical history and analyzes his psycho-emotional state. If necessary, a consultation with a neurologist, psychologist, or other subspecialists is appointed.

Prevention

People of all ages and statuses are susceptible to developing this condition. However, training in stress relaxation techniques, rest and work regimes, adequate sleep, regular physical activity, and active lifestyle help to reduce the risks.

The condition can provoke:

  1. stress;
  2. psychological trauma;
  3. hereditary predisposition (hypersensitive individuals);
  4. somatic pathology (thyroid dysfunction, adrenal glands, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, etc.);
  5. alcohol abuse or drug use;
  6. uncontrolled intake of certain medications.

Treatment

  • At VIVERE CLINIC the treatment program for anxiety disorders includes non-medication and medication methods.
  • The gold standard of treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It includes 15-20 weekly sessions with a therapist, where the client's fears, negative thoughts and beliefs, and triggers that provoke anxiety are addressed.
  • The patient actively learns to identify his negative thoughts keeps a diary of thoughts and emotions (obligatory as homework). In sessions, these thoughts and unconstructive rules are reevaluated with the therapist and more adaptive strategies for response and behavior are developed. CBT is a serious and responsible process where the client is required to be involved and diligent (it is an active, not passive type of therapy where much of it is up to the client).

В клинике уютно и светло. Приятно удивляет всегда быстрое реагирование на вопросы и просьбы девушек-регистраторов, их доброжелательное отношение. Ни один вопрос в вайбере не остался без ответа. Дважды были с сыном на консультации у Шейко Макара Васильевича. Неординарный, профессиональный и, в то же время, душевный, можно сказать дружеский подход, к решению проблем пациента, у Макара Васильевича. Также 2 года назад мы были на приеме у иммунолога Мельник Леси Игоревны. Остались тоже очень довольны. Впечатлило глубокое понимание проблемы, а также достаточно доступное объяснение и интересное изложение информации.

Доброго дня! Нарешті я написала відгук, вже півроку з вами) Я мама дитини, яка до 18 років мала купу діагнозів, які і близько не мали відношення до нашої хвороби! Уявіть, скільки часу було витрачено... лікування ніяке (звісно) не допомагало, а ставало ще гірше. Доки нам не порекомендували Шейко Макар Васильовича! Сказати, що Він нам допоміг , це нічого не сказати! Макар Васильович врятував мою Софію! Завдяки правильній діагностиці, ми маємо НАШ діагноз (рідке орфанне захворювання) і правильне лікування.
