Stress-induced conditions in the practice of primary care physicians
https://doi.org/10.21518/ms2025-083
Abstract
Anxiety disorders represent one of the most common groups of mental illness in the population and in general medical practice. These disorders can manifest in various forms and have a significant impact on the quality of life of patients, leading to increased morbidity and frequent calls for medical help. Psychoemotional disorders play an important role in the development and complicated course of various chronic non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. The quality of life of patients significantly deteriorates, which leads to a decrease in physical activity, a deterioration in general well-being and, as a result, an increase in the number of adverse outcomes. On the other hand, there is an insufficient level of awareness among physicians of the risks associated with the psycho-emotional state of patients. Correction of psychoemotional disorders includes different approaches, both drug and non-drug methods of treatment are used. When choosing a drug, special attention is paid to several key factors, among which the most important are good tolerability of the drug, effectiveness and a high safety profile. A drug for the treatment of stress-induced psychovegetative syndrome in therapeutic doses should contribute to the rapid relief of autonomic dysfunction, restoration of sleep, effective reduction of elevated levels of anxiety, and improvement of the patient’s quality of life.
