Today publishes a variety of materials on a variety of "fictitious disease". And the most famous of them - the IRR or dystonia. And in fact the notorious "diagnosis" voiced even doctors! And what do the people who hear it? Let us understand in detail.
So, how can that be, if the diagnosis is fictional, but the symptoms at the same time absolutely real? The only correct option - pass the full examination to rule out or confirm the validity of the existing disease. Since masquerade vascular dystonia are a variety of diseases.
And what about the doctors? IRR, unfortunately, is convenient to many doctors, and they do not think at this point that the risks with the patient to miss a serious problem, a real diagnosis. For example depression or even asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which, it turns out, affects about 15% of Russian citizens, sometimes even without knowing it.
All under the same mask vascular dystonia can hide and iron deficiency in the body, and hypothyroidism, which manifest themselves in the same way. All these diseases are neglected, whereas they can and should be treated. In the West, with the patients, as a rule, in parallel psychologists to remove psycho-emotional problems and associated symptoms.
We have the same until the great "historical" fear associated with everything that goes with the prefix "psycho" in the title. Strong and mistrust among the population to the professionals involved in these problems. Neurologist for our people - it is not so "terrible", but a psychiatrist - already help! That is why such patients are treated for a long time (and turn today) with their problems to neurologists / neurologist. But these experts, unfortunately, can not really help a person with a functional disorder. At best, they are connected to the treatment of psychologists or psychotherapists, urging patients to compulsion of such assistance.
It is important to understand:patients who used to put the "diagnosis" IRR - they are not "greetings!" These are people who do not themselves able to cope with stress, or characterized by high sensitivity. They just happened to be in the mode of physical and perhaps emotional overload. They can be helped, and it is necessary.
In the medical community Russia circulated a myth that all who suffer from such disorders, or pretend to be, or invent a disease. These and treated as malingerers or aggravantam (those who strengthens the existing symptoms of the disease). This myth has arisen due to the lack of organic causes of disease. And yet these patients are really sick and require skilled and complex, and sometimes very long-term treatment. They need anti-anxiety medications, antidepressants, and the application of psychotherapeutic techniques - cognitive behavioral therapy, for example.
