Many drugs and remedies can have a sedative and anti-aggressive effect. There is no separate group of drugs for aggressiveness. There are drugs for one-time use (the so-called “emergency drugs”), and there are also drugs for constant long-term use (“planned therapy”) in the treatment of aggressiveness.
Do not try to self-prescribe and take various sedatives to combat aggression.
Below we will present and briefly describe the main groups of drugs that can have a therapeutic effect on aggressive behavior.
Normotimics (normotimics, mood regulators)
Drugs in this group are most often used for long-term planned treatment of aggressiveness. The mechanism of action of these drugs is associated with restoring the balance between the processes of inhibition and excitation in the brain.
Prescribed for aggressiveness resulting from overwork, the consequences of organic damage to the nervous system (trauma, surgery, infection and intoxication), alcohol and drug abuse, epilepsy, affective disorders (depression, manic states, bipolar affective disorder) and other endogenous mental disorders.
The main drugs from the group of mood stabilizers:
- carbamazepine;
- lithium strength;
- valproic acid;
- lamotrigine.
The collection will help the nervous system, heart
Take one part of valerian root, motherwort herb, cumin and fennel seeds, mix everything. 2 tbsp. pour 2 tbsp of this mixture. (400 ml) boiling water, leave until the infusion has cooled, strain, and then take 50 ml 3 times a day. Drink according to how you feel, when your heart begins to beat anxiously, you feel nervous tension, or suddenly insomnia begins. Drink the infusion for 10 days, this is enough for the condition to change for the better. This is a medicine for all cases - both for long-term treatment and as an emergency remedy if your nerves are frayed.
Neuroleptics (neuroleptics, antipsychotics)
Neuroleptic drugs are used both for a single (one-time) dose to relieve an attack of aggressiveness, and for continuous long-term use.
Neuroleptics exert their effect by restoring the impaired exchange of neurotransmitters in the nervous system, enhancing inhibition processes in the cortex and subcortical structures of the brain.
Neuroleptics are used to treat almost all types of psychoses and neuroses accompanied by aggressive behavior. They are the most powerful anti-aggressive agents. There are many antipsychotic drugs; by now they are divided into several generations.
The main drugs are antipsychotics used for aggressiveness:
- periciazine (neuleptil);
- thioridazine (Sonapax);
- chlorprothixene;
- zuclopenthixol;
- chlorpromazine;
- levomepromazine;
- clozapine.
Forms of manifestation of the disease
Attacks of aggression can manifest themselves in:
- physical fitness (assault),
- verbal form (shouting and swearing),
- hidden version (nurturing ideas of jealousy, hatred, etc.).
Aggression can be direct and indirect, as well as obvious and hidden, without cause. Listed here are just some of the main manifestations of this condition. Outstanding scientific psychologists and psychiatrists have created voluminous classifications that take into account many of the subtleties of this sociopathological process.
Aggression in men (somewhat less often in women) can have benign traits that are embodied in professional activities. People with such behavior are characterized by courage, bravery, courage. A malignant manifestation of the disorder is rudeness, cruelty, callousness, arrogance, and a tendency to violent ideas and actions.
The most often negative-aggressive type of behavior is characteristic of children and adolescents. With age, it goes away, being replaced by productive and purposeful types of mental personality traits. Self-affirmation and a kind of defensive version of aggressive behavior may well manifest itself in cruel and even sadistic behavior in children. This variant of pathology requires mandatory therapy. Some people themselves notice the destructive nature of periodic attacks and try to get rid of this deficiency on their own. In such cases, they often resort to the help of specialists - psychologists or psychiatrists.
Tranquilizers (minor antipsychotics)
Tranquilizers are weaker and milder drugs compared to antipsychotics. They are used mainly once or in short (several days) courses, since long-term use can cause addiction (dependence).
Used for aggressiveness caused by overwork, neurotic and depressive disorders, as a rule, with unexpressed aggressiveness.
Basic tranquilizers:
- brodihydrochlorophenylbenzodiazepine;
- diazepam;
- alprozalam;
- Hydroxyzine.
Negative qualities of Lakonos
All parts of the plant are poisonous
Medicinal drugs prepared from it should be used with caution and under the supervision of a doctor. Lacony berries have an attractive appearance and can become a bait for children. Nothing bad can happen from eating one berry.
But who can guarantee that the baby won’t put a whole handful of berries in his mouth? And this can already cause severe poisoning. So, if there are children in the house, then it is better to refuse the laccone. The berries tend to stain everything, including clothes. In order to avoid troubles in the form of spoiled outfits, Lakonos should not be planted along paths, near the porch and in rest areas. Lakonos has gained fame as a handsome man with the habits of a weed. He decides for himself where to grow. Reproduces quickly and in different ways. Self-seeding of this plant can bring a lot of trouble to the owners, since new plants can appear in completely unplanned places. Recently I discovered the sprouts of lacquerberry right in the nest of irises. I tried to remove them, removed them several times, but they appeared again. So I had to dig up the irises and transplant them to another place. It is almost impossible to dig up a fully mature plant. The root is so large and penetrates so deeply into the soil that the plant will have to be uprooted rather than dug up.
Antidepressants
Antidepressant drugs are used in courses (usually several months).
They do not have a quick sedative effect, unlike antipsychotics and tranquilizers. However, with long-term use, they can effectively remove attacks of aggressiveness that arise as part of depressive states (endogenous, organic, neurotic).
There are a lot of antidepressants; doctors divide them into several generations and into groups depending on their structure and mechanism of action.
Main antidepressants:
- amitriptyline;
- clomipramine;
- escitalopram;
- paroxetine;
- fluvoxamine;
- agomelatine.
How to get rid of irritability easily and simply
Irritability is defined by psychologists as the ability of a person to overreact to the environment. Irritability is on a par with fatigue, since after a hard day at work, when a person is tired, he becomes prone to irritation.
Irritability in people by nature is quite rare. Therefore, most often irritability becomes a consequence of nervous exhaustion. Almost every person has experienced this feeling. This brings discomfort and as a result people want to understand how to reduce irritability.
People reduce irritability in different ways. Some smoke, others eat seeds or generally overeat on sweets. There are people who relieve stress through breathing or exercise. This article will tell you the most effective ways to reduce irritability.
