One of the most famous and common disorders of the nervous system is the syndrome of increased nervous excitability. The number of patients suffering from this disease is increasing from year to year. They suffer regardless of gender, age, profession, etc. However, psychologists are confident that boys and male teenagers are at risk.

Classification

The body's reaction to serious overwork, a conflict, or an excessive supply of information is called increased nervous excitability. This disorder occurs in twenty percent of the entire population. This problem occurs in both men and women, regardless of age.

There are seven species in total.

  1. Hallucinatory-delusional. The result of sound or auditory hallucinations, delusions. The patient experiences anxiety, phobias, severe confusion, and anger. The patient can rush at an imaginary pursuer and run away to escape him.
  2. Catatonic. Characterized by senselessness, aggressive actions, impulsive actions, excessive excitement turning into stupor, and ridiculous behavior.
  3. Depressive. It is observed in individuals suffering from depressive disorder during the period of exacerbation, when increased depressive feelings appear. A person can cry, scream, harm himself, or strive for suicide.
  4. Manic. Characterized by high spirits and a change from positive emotions to negative ones. A person can be either cheerful or angry. There is continuous speech and sudden changes in topics. The individual overestimates his strength, and delusions of grandeur may occur.
  5. Epileptic. It is observed in patients with epilepsy. Characterized by an abrupt beginning and end, complete disorientation. The patient may throw himself at other people, causing them harm.
  6. Psychogenic - the result of mental trauma that had an immediate threat to a person’s life, for example, an earthquake or a crash. The presence of vegetative deviations is characteristic; there can be both monotonous excitement and chaotic panic flight, attempts to commit suicide.

Deviation or norm?

increased libido in a woman

So, a high level of libido does not at all indicate the presence of a health problem. Moreover, most people with increased libido consider it an advantage. In fact, it all depends on its severity. If a constant desire interferes with working and building relationships with the opposite sex, it needs to be treated. Psychologists note that temperament requires medication adjustment if sex turns into an obsession. In this case, we can talk about the presence of dependence. Thus, men whose partners have increased libido sometimes break off relationships. This is due to the fact that they cannot satisfy their woman, which negatively affects their self-esteem.

Women with hypersexuality also suffer. They cannot build a personal life, their relationships with family and even work colleagues collapse. In addition, they feel shame for suffering from addiction, because society perceives them as promiscuous and unscrupulous individuals. As a result, life collapses due to a woman’s increased libido. We will consider the reasons for this phenomenon further. They are often associated with psychological abnormalities, but in some cases hypersexuality is a consequence of an attitude that a woman has unconsciously set for herself. In this case, she first needs to consult a psychologist.

Research by scientists suggests that hypersexuality is much less common in women than in men.

Symptoms of increased excitability

Increased excitability in the modern world is not such a rare problem. People of different ages encounter it. It can manifest itself to a greater or lesser extent, but in any of these cases it significantly affects a person’s condition, his worldview and self-perception, often leading to serious psycho-emotional and mental disorders.

To better understand whether you suffer from increased excitability, you should pay attention to your behavior and attitude towards certain things. As a rule, a lot in your life changes when overexcitability takes over you completely.

1. Sleep problems begin. Now it is normal for you to wake up at night and have nightmares, followed by painful falling asleep and tossing and turning in bed. Often you cannot even fall asleep, you feel either hot or cold, and are unable to find a comfortable position.

2. Eating disorders occur. You either refuse to eat or cannot leave the refrigerator. As a rule, the latter is accompanied by serious weight gain and the development of depression against the background of a strong increase. There are also frequent cases of the formation of bulimia against the background of increased excitability and strengthening of the depressive state.

3. Minor difficulties, obstacles, disruptions in plans unsettle you. At the same time, you either withdraw into yourself or openly express your anger, are ready to cross out the whole day because of one small trouble, and tend to blame everyone around you for what happened.

4. You become very vulnerable and suspicious - any careless word can provoke aggression, crying, hysteria.

5. Everything annoys you! The jangling of keys in your pocket, an incorrectly parked car, groceries arranged carelessly in the refrigerator, the smile of your interlocutor, the weather, and so on.

6. You have stopped controlling yourself. Sometimes you may catch yourself laughing unreasonably loudly or talking in a raised voice. Most likely, at such moments you no longer hold back your words and express your dissatisfaction even when it is not very appropriate.

7. Problems with memory and reaction appear. It becomes more difficult to communicate with people in general.

8. Often the world in this state seems hostile. If you have no friends, everyone goes against you.

9. There is a desire to get away from everything and everyone, to hide alone so that no one touches you.

10. As an additional symptom, immunity decreases, digestion is disrupted, and you begin to get sick often.

Characteristic manifestations


Insomnia is a possible sign of increased nervous excitability

Nervous excitability can be described:

  • difficulty moving the eyeballs;

The dangers of promiscuity

The danger of such behavior is not difficult to predict. Firstly, there is a risk of contracting numerous sexually transmitted diseases. HIV and herpes are also transmitted through sexual intercourse. In addition, nymphomaniacs often become victims of maniacs because they forget about caution.

A constant need for sexual pleasure may be a sign of developing schizophrenia or endocrine system dysfunction. In some cases, nymphomania develops after brutal rape, but then drug treatment is not enough; work with a psychologist is necessary.

Diagnostics

If increased excitability of the nervous system occurs, you should consult a doctor. The specialist will collect anamnesis and prescribe certain studies in order to accurately identify the true cause of the condition. This can be assigned:

  • measurement of temperature, respiratory rate, pressure, pulse;
  • MRI;
  • blood test and urine clinic;
  • blood biochemistry;
  • examination of the thyroid gland followed by consultation with an endocrinologist;

  7. In certain cases, drug therapy is prescribed, taking into account what exactly triggered the development of this condition:

The benefits of sex for women

increased libido in women reasons

Sex is not only about physical pleasure and emotional release. It has a beneficial effect on all systems of our body.

The benefits of sex for women are as follows:

  1. Boosting immunity. Scientists have found that sexual intercourse causes the release of colossal amounts of hormones into the blood. As a result of their action, the body's immune response improves. This is why single people get sick more often than married people.
  2. Benefits for the figure. Activity in bed replaces an evening jog or gym.
  3. Maintaining affection. Regular sex causes an increase in the hormone cortisol in the blood. The same one that is responsible for the “butterflies in the stomach.”
  4. Long-term abstinence from sex can lead to accumulation and stagnation of insulin, which in turn threatens diabetes. Sex lowers blood sugar, so it is especially useful for diabetics.
  5. A surge of female hormones improves skin elasticity, hair and nail growth, has a positive effect on the quality of sleep and even rejuvenates the body.
  6. The same cortisol that is responsible for the feeling of falling in love is a natural antidepressant that is great for treating depression.
  7. Increased self-esteem. In bed, a woman sees that her partner still wants her, despite her figure flaws. However, it is worth considering that if he does not want sex all the time, this is not at all due to the lack of attractiveness of his partner. He just has a different type of temperament.

Precautionary measures


Physical activity helps counteract increased nervous excitability

  1. Devote your time to sports. You can do exercises every day in the morning, the main thing is that there is at least minimal physical activity in your life. Ideal if you can, for example, run in the fresh air.
  2. Try to be outside as much as possible, especially in areas with vegetation (parks, forests).
  3. Train yourself not to sit at the computer for long periods of time, get rid of Internet or gaming addiction, if you have one.
  4. Lead a healthy lifestyle, eliminate any bad habits, in particular alcohol and smoking.
  5. Clearly allocate time for work and rest, do not be a workaholic.
  6. Filter incoming information, protect yourself from negativity. In particular, you can refuse to watch news programs.
  7. Decide on a daily routine. It is mandatory to have adequate sleep (eight hours a day), and go to bed on time (no later than 23:00).
  8. Maintain communication with relatives and friends, go for a walk with them, visit a cinema, a museum, travel.
  9. Protect yourself from communicating with toxic people.

Now you know what increased excitability of the nervous system is. Having become familiar with the reasons that can provoke it, you can take certain actions to prevent the development of this condition. If you cannot cope with nervous excitability on your own, you should seek help from a specialist and follow his recommendations.

What didn't we know about libido?

increased libido

Libido is more than just the desire for sex. Freud's student Carl Gustav Jung considered it energy. He even endowed him with a certain mysticism. The power of libido energy is variable and takes different forms. It manifests itself not only in relation to other people, but also in creativity, hobbies, etc.

Sometimes people don't have the desire to have sex, but physically they can do it. And sometimes there is a great desire, but the body does not react. These situations are not aberrations and occur regularly. However, people become worried without realizing that libido consists of two parts - mental and physical. But they don’t always work in tandem.
