Anxiety, stress, restlessness, living in a hurry, irregular diet and taking various dietary supplements lead to disorders not only of the nervous or circulatory system, but also of the digestive system. All this also has a significant impact on our emotions and psyche. Anxiety is a normal and natural human emotion that protects us from all kinds of danger. Unfortunately, prolonged stress can lead to serious health problems. Today, the stereotype of a patient suffering from a mental illness has changed. People suffering from this type of condition can have all sorts of somatic symptoms, which are the result of mental disorders. This disrupts all spheres of human functioning.

Spastic colon, irritable bowel syndrome or otherwise gastric neurosis is a condition that affects an increasing number of people. Neurotic symptoms significantly interfere with the normal functioning of human organs, including gastric and intestinal dysfunctions. Reports from neurologists and psychiatrists show 'that there is a strong link between the somatic disturbances present in neuroses and the emotions experienced'. The nerve cells present in the gastrointestinal tract share several features with those of the nervous system. This interaction, according to the researchers, is very strong.

Everyone's physiology has been shown to be inextricably linked to the human psyche. In gastric neurosis, the characteristic symptoms are:

  1. Diarrhoea
  2. Constipation
  3. Nausea
  4. Stomach pains
  5. Stomach and intestinal cramps
  6. Sensation of so called lump in the throat and pressure
  7. Chest pain
  8. Vomiting
  9. Problems with food intake and digestion
  10. Weight loss
  11. Indigestion
  12. Stabbing in the organ area

Gastric neurosis is one of the vegetative neuroses and always requires specialist treatment. If untreated, it can lead to gastric ulcers and also duodenal ulcers. In the case of gastric neurosis, pharmacological treatment is necessary, but under the supervision of a neurologist and psychiatrist. Not only sedatives but also anti-anxiety agents are used. The task of the latter is to block the conduction of nerve impulses, which in turn significantly reduces nervousness, tension, anxiety or fear. Another very important form of treatment is psychotherapy. Music therapy, painting, reading books or relaxation techniques are also used very frequently. Patients are also recommended physical activity. Of course, the form of treatment is adapted to individual needs and the severity of gastric neurosis symptoms.
