No more strength. Who can help: a psychologist or a psychiatrist? If a person has been under stress for a long time, has not rested and ignored the needs of his body, a state of apathy, powerlessness, anxiety and a feeling that there is no more strength may arise. Sometimes it occurs for a short time and goes away after a few days of rest. This means that the human body still has enough strength left for self-regulation and recovery. But sometimes it is not possible to get out of a painful state on its own. If there is depression, apathy, or anxiety, a person has little strength and they disappear very quickly. It is usually believed that if this condition does not go away for more than 2 weeks, then it is important not to delay and bring yourself to a specialist. A psychologist and non-medical psychotherapist can help effectively cope with psychological problems that cause a feeling of exhaustion. However, people often ignore what is happening to them, try to change their condition with alcohol and drugs and get instant relief. It seems as if strength appears, euphoria arises, a feeling of relaxation and security comes. However, in the long term, alcohol and drugs greatly aggravate the problem that the person was trying to solve, and add many new ones. What effect can be expected from psychotherapy or from medications if there is no more strength? Psychotherapy can eliminate the very cause of the painful condition. It will take time to study how a person “creates” his problem, how he himself, without realizing it, maintains his painful state, and to what extent all this depends on the person himself. With a psychologist, a person will figure out how to resolve or significantly alleviate it problem, learn to independently cope with the state when “there is no more strength.” Sometimes a person is very delaying in receiving psychological support. And then, first of all, you have to consult a doctor in order for psychotherapy to become possible at all. Psychotherapy and psychiatry can work effectively together, and do not oppose each other. Tablets prescribed by a doctor can help alleviate a person’s condition and keep him in a stable condition so that he can live normally and not lose social adaptation. However, pills cannot replace psychological and psychotherapeutic help. They will not eliminate the cause of psychological problems. If, for example, you take only pills, but do not change anything in your ways of interacting with the world, then when the drugs are discontinued, the old state may return. The person returns to the usual way of contacting the world. It was this method that “led” him to a serious state when he had no more strength. Therefore, it is important to continue regular work with a psychologist to change your behavior patterns that contributed to the emergence of your painful condition.
