INSOMNIA

Insomnia is one of the most common neurotic symptoms. It usually precedes the onset of many neuropsychiatric diseases. Insomnia can precede the onset of somatic diseases, in particular infectious diseases. Insomnia can be manifested for a long time as a single symptom, but over time it leads to the development of personality neurotization. One of the causes of insomnia may be a failure of circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythm failure occurs when working in night shifts or with frequent jet lag associated with flights or other means of movement.

The International World Health Organization gives the following definition of insomnia.

"Insomnia is a clinical disorder that is diagnosed by doctors in the following cases: if a person has real difficulty falling asleep (i.e., he cannot actually fall asleep for an hour), if he has frequent night awakenings, which are accompanied by difficulties with repeated falling asleep, or if he has too early morning awakenings, non-healing sleep and poor sleep quality."
So, the main manifestations of insomnia are:
- difficulty falling asleep;
- night awakenings followed by difficulty falling asleep or subsequent lack of sleep;
- early systematic awakening;
-superficial sleep
- sleep accompanied by multiple dreams that do not give rest to the nervous system;
- absence of a feeling of rest and vigor after sleep.

Usually insomnia during the day is accompanied by a feeling of general weakness, breakdown, increased mental and physical fatigue. Prolonged insomnia leads to a weakening of memory, a slowdown in the process of thinking, distraction and more gross neurotic disorders. Such violations include irritability, temper (often in trifles), anxiety, uncertainty, frequent mood fluctuations, suspicion, hypochondriac, the appearance of obsessive thoughts.
Insomnia requires attention, since lack of treatment or improper treatment can lead to more serious psycho-neurological disorders.

This is avoided by the earliest possible psychotherapeutic treatment, which successfully eliminates insomnia and normalizes the patient's psychosomatic state.
Unfortunately, not everyone turns to a psychotherapist in time, begins treatment with a therapist, neuropathologist or psychiatrist. As you know, these specialists prescribe drug treatment with tranquilizers, antidepressants and antipsychotics. This approach leads to the fact that for some time it is possible to improve sleep, but in the future, as you get used to drugs, insomnia resumes with renewed vigor. In practice, the disease is "driven inside" and despite the decrease in symptoms, it continues to develop, moving into a chronic state.

Usually after a few years of torment, the patient himself begins to look for alternative treatments and then recalls that there is a psychotherapist who can treat without drugs. I am often approached by patients with more than ten years of insomnia and manage to help, but at the same time many years have gone to suffering that could have been avoided.
Insomnia is successfully treated with psychotherapeutic methods such as suggestion and hypnosis, and recently, to increase the effect and in the presence of concomitant diseases, I use my own treatment methods - "psychoresonance therapy" and "pulse therapy." The standard course of treatment, consisting of 20 sessions, is sufficient to eliminate insomnia.
