Tearfulness

Tearfulness is the emotional state with which a person encounters throughout life. Consider the main causes and symptoms of the syndrome of tearfulness, methods of treatment and prevention.

Tears are a normal reaction of the body to various factors. The lacrimal reflex manifests itself in childhood, when through the tears the child expresses his feelings and emotions. That is, crying can be called a physiological reaction of the body to certain stimuli, which causes a special facial expression. Tears in turn - this is an excellent emotional discharge, which allows you to get rid of emotional pain.

Unlike crying, tearfulness is excessive tearfulness on any even the slightest occasion. It can be a touching film, the boss's remarks or the contrary, praise, excessive attention from outsiders and much more. But the most unpleasant thing is that it is not always possible to control the urge to crying. If short-term tears cause a desire to console, then constant tearfulness causes fatigue and irritation in others.

If tearfulness occurs for unknown reasons, it can indicate a variety of disorders and diseases of the body. Because of regular tears, mental health suffers significantly, as crying is accompanied by aggression, bad mood, irritability and even drowsiness. In this case, examination and treatment, both medical and psychological, are required.

Causes of tearfulness

The causes of tearfulness are very diverse. But one thing is for sure that tears are the reaction of the body to shocks or an emotional outburst. Crying is necessary for mental relaxation and the release of negative energy, but if tears flow every day and without apparent cause, then this is a deviation.

Let's consider the basic factors causing tearfulness:

• Because of a strong negative emotional shock. It can be a strong stress, unpleasant memories, resentment. In this case the psyche does not stand up and the person suffers from nervousness and tearfulness.
• Premenstrual syndrome can also cause tearfulness and irritation. But, as a rule, the duration of such a state is 3-5 days. The reason lies in the hormonal reconstruction of the female body.
• Climax is another cause of tearfulness, like PMS caused by hormonal imbalance. A woman suffers from frequent mood swings, resentment.
• The period of pregnancy and childbirth is quite an interesting time in the life of every woman and her associates. The pregnant becomes very tearful and sensitive. But crying during this period is considered the norm, since it is associated with hormonal changes in the body.
• Depression is one of the mental states that is accompanied by tearfulness. The main reasons are that a person feels that no one understands him, but a constantly depressed mood and poor emotional state of health cause tears.

Tearfulness and Hormones

Tearfulness and hormones are closely interrelated, as in the majority of cases, increased sensitivity and tears arise because of the hormonal imbalance in the body. Tearfulness can be caused by a hormonal surge in the premenstrual period, with menopause, during pregnancy and after childbirth.

In this case, tearfulness pursues only the fair sex. By the way, increased tearfulness is very often observed in adolescent girls and again because of hormonal changes in the body.

But tearfulness can be a sign of hyperthyroidism, that is, an increased function of the thyroid gland. In this case, except for tears, the patient appears nervousness, sleep disturbance, fussiness, fast fatigue, decreased efficiency, irritability. But in addition to the disturbance of nervous activity, other pathologies of the nervous system appear, such as tremors and excessive sweating. This is all due to the fact that the thyroid hormone is responsible for the regulation of the basal metabolism, and the increase or decrease in its production entails a number of negative symptoms, one of which is tearfulness.

Crying syndrome

The syndrome of tearfulness refers to mental disorders. The degree of the disorder depends on the severity of the symptoms of the syndrome. The cause of the ailment can be in hormonal outbursts, internal diseases and another. The syndrome of tearfulness haunts a person from early childhood. There is a certain increasing scale, indicating peaks of possible tearfulness and sensitivity in children, it is from 2 to 6 years and adolescence.

But the desire to cry can arise not only because of disorders or hormonal imbalance. In some cases, the accumulated grievances and disappointments result in tearfulness and irritability. The syndrome of tearfulness is also found in men, the main cause of this phenomenon is chronic stress, alcohol and alcohol abuse.

Another reason for wanting to cry constantly is an intrapersonal conflict. In this case, the patient is noticed causeless aggression, a prolonged rise in body temperature (for several weeks) and exacerbation of chronic diseases. Most often an intrapersonal conflict that provokes excessive tearfulness appears in women in leadership positions. This is because the woman has to choose or break between the house and a successful career.

The main symptoms of this disorder are equally manifested in patients of both sexes. First of all, this is a set of excess weight, a feeling of constant fatigue, sudden mood swings, a decrease or lack of sexual desire. In some cases, the disturbance of metabolic processes that deplete the nervous system.

Symptoms of tearfulness

Symptoms of tearfulness largely depend on the cause that caused tears. But most often tearfulness is accompanied by such symptoms as:

• Increased irritability.
• Nervousness.
• Unreasonable fatigue.
• Lack of sleep.
• Drowsiness.
• Apathy.
• Mood swings.
• Tenderness.
• Vegetative manifestations (red face, increased sweating, increased heart rate, increased pressure).

In addition, tearfulness can be accompanied by a slight chill, causing a slight increase in temperature and headaches. Very often tearfulness occurs against the background of neurological diseases and panic attacks. Therefore, the symptoms include hormonal imbalance in the body, problems with the thyroid gland. Sometimes excessive body weight and problems with women's health caused by hormones cause frequent, causeless tears.

Increased tearfulness

Increased tearfulness refers to one of the symptoms indicating a mental disorder. But tears can appear because of a bad mood, stress, lack of sleep and fatigue, even in mentally healthy people. Tears are directly related to the emotional state. A heartbreaking story, an unpleasant situation, increased attention or vice versa can cause uncausable tears. Very often tearfulness appears from childhood and can persist throughout life. In this case, the disorder arises from the characteristics of higher nervous activity and characterological characteristics of a person.

Increased crying occurs not only in children, but also in people of late age. In this case, tears significantly reduce the quality of life and cause inconvenience. The disorder causes increased excitement, anxiety over trifles, an angry-melancholy mood and a reduced mood background.

Excessive sentimentality can be associated with low levels of serotonin in the blood. Increased tearfulness can occur with mental disorders. For example, with depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, menopause or PMS, neuroses, stress, asthenia, neurasthenia. In this case, the problem can be cured with medication and long-term psychological therapy.

Tearfulness and irritability

Tearfulness and irritability, as a rule, appear simultaneously. And this is not surprising, because because of the oppressed emotional state there is not only irrational irritability, but aggressiveness and resentment. Irritability is a response by an overreaction of aggression or anger to conventional stimuli. It is expressed in a loud tone in conversation, rapid eye movements, gesticulation and so on.

Very often tearfulness and irritability lead to the appearance of nervousness. The reason for this state of nervous exhaustion is due to constant tears, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, chronic fatigue. Similar symptoms occur with drug addiction and alcoholism. Tearfulness and increased excitability of the nervous system appear due to emotional stress, lack of sleep, physical overwork and even prolonged exposure to the sun.

Some somatic diseases can provoke tearfulness and irritability. It can be diseases of the nervous system, thyrotoxicosis, trauma and brain damage. Climax, both male and female, is characterized by a lower production of sex hormones, so mild aggression and emotionality may also manifest. The period of pregnancy and the change in the hormonal background caused by the female cycle or the lack of vitamins and minerals in the body, also provokes tears and irritability.

Frequent whining

Frequent whining indicates an unstable emotional state caused by impaired hormone levels in the body or some kind of disease. From frequent crying, children suffer, many scientists explain this phenomenon by the fact that tears protect the body from stress. Proceeding from this, it can be concluded that excessive suppression of the desire to cry can cause severe disorders of the nervous system.

But increased tearfulness in adulthood, as a rule, serves as a sign of developing depression. Frequent tears indicate problems with hormones (thyroid disease, pregnancy, menopause, premenstrual syndrome). Chronic lack of sleep, a prolonged state of stress and nervous exhaustion, also provokes frequent tears. In this case, a person suffers not only from an unstable emotional state, but also from a general weakness caused by a nervous breakdown due to tears.

Constant whining

A constant tearfulness is characteristic of small children who, through tears, express their indignation or simply try to attract attention. In adulthood, frequent tears are associated with a number of pathologies, both the nervous system and the body as a whole. The desire to cry begins when feelings of impotence, stress, overwork, lack of sleep, exhaustion of the body, including nervous. Sometimes an incorrectly thrown word and an evil look on the part provoke tears. In this case, the cause may be in hormones or in serious neurological disorders.

You can overcome the constant tearfulness yourself. For this, it is necessary to remember in which specific situations there are tears. Having determined the reason, the next time, when there is a desire to cry, try to decompose the provoking crying situation on the shelves. This will help to control your emotions and find ways to get out of the situation. If alone can not cope with the constant tearfulness, then it is worth turning to a neurologist or a psychiatrist and undergoing tests for the presence of various kinds of diseases.

[5]

Drowsiness and tearfulness

Drowsiness and tearfulness often occur simultaneously. But in this case, both symptoms are not associated with a bad character, but can be caused by an ascetic syndrome. The disease occurs against a background of chronic infections, craniocerebral injuries, high blood pressure and intoxication of the body. Regardless of the cause of the pathology, the balance of inhibition and excitation in the cerebral cortex is disturbed. It is because of this that there is a frequent desire to cry and drowsy.

Treat ailment with a neurologist. The doctor will conduct a series of examinations and prescribe the necessary therapy. There are a number of recommendations that will help to get rid of the symptoms of drowsiness and unstable emotional state.

• First of all, stop drinking coffee often. As you know, caffeine provokes an overexcitement of the nervous system, and green tea, on the contrary, has soothing and toning properties.
• In the morning it is recommended to take medicinal tinctures that fill with energy, but in the afternoon it is better to drink tea from hawthorn or an infusion of valerian to calm the nervous system.
• Do not forget about the rational nutrition and daily exercise that will give strength and allow you to relax.

Mood swings, tearfulness and irritability

Mood swings, tearfulness and irritability appear due to chronic fatigue or any problems. But if the symptoms are manifested even for the most minor cause, then this indicates a mental abnormality that requires medical attention. Constant irritation, tears and mood swings often appear in people with unbalanced psyche, as an acute reaction to any problems. Of course, tolerating constant mood swings and tearfulness is very difficult, so you need to determine the cause of nervousness.

The cause of mood swings and tearfulness can be both physiological and psychological.

• If tearfulness and frequent change of mood have a physiological character, then, as a rule, it occurs with diseases of the endocrine system, digestive organs and chronic ailments. Women are the most nervous, it is associated with the premenstrual period, childbirth, menopause, that is, periods of hormonal adjustment in the body.
• Psychological reasons can be covered in constant overwork, stress, chronic lack of sleep and depressed state. As a result of an unstable emotional background and constant tears, a nervous breakdown can occur. If such symptoms are manifested for many years, then nervousness and tearfulness assume a chronic character and this condition is very difficult to cure.
• Irritability and tearfulness are accompanied by fatigue, excessive drowsiness or insomnia, fast fatigue. In some cases, unmotivated aggression, anger and anger may appear. For treatment, you need to seek medical help from a neurologist. But there are a number of recommendations that will help to regain normal emotional health on their own.
• Keep negative emotional outbursts. Try to switch to pleasant moments and memories. This method of restraining tearfulness or irritability with frequent use will go back to normal.
• Observe the motor activity, watch your diet and have a rest. Adhering to these three rules, you can cure even nervous nervousness.

But with a severe psychoemotional condition, it is better to seek medical help. In this case, the doctor can prescribe antidepressants or tranquilizers to stabilize the emotional background.

Tearfulness and nervousness

Tearfulness and nervousness arise as a result of increased irritability of the nervous system. A similar condition occurs in many pathological conditions. For example, with diseases of the central nervous system, both organic and functional. Often, tearfulness and nervousness are a symptom of such psychological diseases as: depression, senile psychoses, neuroses, schizophrenia, hysteria. In turn, alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling and smoking, also cause nervousness, which is accompanied by increased emotionality and tearfulness.

Endocrine and nervous systems are a single neuroendocrine system. That is why tearfulness and nervousness appear with various hormonal disorders (PMS, menopause, pregnancy). Diseases of a physical nature and some oncological ailments are also accompanied by irritability, nervousness, frequent crying. Similar symptoms can occur in the early stages of the disease and have an important diagnostic value. That is why with frequent causeless irritability and tearfulness it is better to consult a doctor.

Tearfulness in children

Tearfulness in children arises from the instability of the nervous system and increased sensitivity to internal and external factors. But in some cases, childish nervousness is a sign of certain diseases. Therefore, if the child suddenly became whimsical and whiny, it is worthwhile to see a doctor, in order to exclude pathological diseases.

But even in healthy children, tearfulness and nervousness can be a common occurrence. As a rule, this manifests itself during the crisis periods of development. These periods have a number of common features. First of all, it is uncontrollability, the child is not easily influenced by adults. There is a riot-protest, which is directed against others, the child becomes stubborn, there is a breakdown of old stereotypes of behavior.

Consider the main crisis periods of development of children, in which even in healthy children there is increased tearfulness and irritability:

• The first year of life and the appearance of speech. This period proceeds subacute because of the close connection between physical and psychological development. Possible disturbance of sleep and wakefulness, problems with appetite. In some cases, there is a slight delay in development and a temporary loss of early acquired skills.
• The second age limit is three years. During this period, the baby forms his own "I" and will. The first visits to the kindergarten, moving and communicating with new people can provoke tearfulness and irritability.
• The crisis period of seven years is associated with a realization of the complexity, but the importance of social ties. During this period, the child loses the naivete and immediacy, which are characteristic of the earlier childhood.
• Adolescence and the period of adolescence can also provoke an aggravation of tearfulness, irritability and nervousness. This is due to the rapid growth and development, the final formation of values and future landmarks in life.

Tearfulness of a child 3 years old

Tearfulness of a child of 3 years is quite normal. Since it is during this period that the child begins to actively explore everything around him and find out what can and can not be done. This allows you to determine the limits of permissibility and feel secure. Many psychologists explain this phenomenon very simply. The kid forms a model of behavior based on the parents' reaction to one or another of their actions. Parents in turn must understand that the child needs this in order to make sure that he is in the comfort zone, that is, in safety. But do not forget that the baby sooner or later have to face the resistance of others. Therefore, during this period it is better to establish a clear framework, what can and what can not be done.

To combat childish crying and hysteria, there is an effective method, which is to let the parents for a while leave the whims and tantrums of the child without attention. Absence of the audience will calm the baby. It is not recommended to indulge caprices with whims, it is better to try to discuss the situation that has arisen, but not to repel it.

Tearfulness in children 4 years old

Tearfulness in children of 4 years can occur simultaneously with hysterics, stubbornness and frequent outbursts of anger. This is all due to the fact that the child begins to exercise his will and position himself as a person. In order for the child not to cry and not to be hysterical, parents should allow the child to make some decisions on their own. For example, what kind of T-shirt to put on the street or from what plate to eat.

In this case, hysterical fits in this period can be considered normal, but only if it does not happen several times a day. Parents should remember that when a fit of tearfulness or irritability can not give the baby what caused this behavior. Since this will go back to normal, and the child will constantly be capricious to get what he wants. But tearfulness in children 4 years is not always evident. This is due to the fact that this period passes very quickly and does not delay significant fingerprints on the nature and behavior of the child.

Tearfulness in children 6 years old

Tearfulness in children 6 years is similar to the crisis of 3 years. This is due to the fact that during this period the child begins to clearly and logically formulate and express his thoughts and needs communication with peers. It is the lack of communication provokes frequent tearfulness, aggressiveness and irritability in the baby. The whole point is that a child can feel lonely and he has no one to share his assumptions, emotions and even thoughts. Therefore, crying and hysteria, the kid tries to attract the attention of others.

Children attending pre-school institutions, various groups and sections, rarely encounter tearfulness and signs of a crisis of 6 years. Therefore, if the child has become capricious or otherwise closed, then this is an obvious reason to expand the range of his communication with peers.

Tearfulness in children 7 years old

Tearfulness in children 7 years is accompanied by a frequent and sharp change of mood. A crisis of this age can be associated with the beginning of educational activity. During this period, the child retreats from the permitted framework, that is, it can wrangle, not respond to the requests of adults and make reservations. The main reason for crying is that there is a reassessment of opportunities.

Tearfulness arises from the vulnerability of the baby's pride. The child strives to grow up, so at this time he has idols, which he will imitate and copy their behavior. In order that crying in children 7 years did not arise, parents should help the child to really assess their strengths and capabilities, retaining self-confidence. Try to evaluate the actions of the baby is not entirely, but for certain elements. Explain to the child that everything that does not work now, in the future, it will come out.

Tearfulness in adolescents

Tearfulness in adolescents is a common phenomenon, as the adolescent period refers to the most difficult stages of life. Approximately from 13 to 18 years old the child is in the pubertal period, which is characterized by physiological changes and active growth. That is, there is a kind of transition from childhood to adulthood. Psychology is changing, the child begins to realize his importance and adulthood.

Frequent mood swings and tearfulness in adolescents can be caused by high training loads, problems in relationships with parents or peers, and many others. Any stressful situation causes physical and mental overexertion and as a result of tears. Parents should minimize stressful situations and try to control the emotional state of the child. For example, if your child is shy, you do not need to support teachers who swear because they refuse to take part in an event. On the contrary, increase the self-esteem of a teenager, help with self-realization, show your support and love.

But because of long stressful situations, which are left without parents' attention, a teenager may develop depression. Its main symptoms are: sadness, decreased self-esteem, loss of interest in communication, fatigue, drowsiness or insomnia, problems with appetite, and more. In this case, the task of parents to show the teenager all his love and warmth, and, of course, consult a doctor. This is due to the fact that prolonged teenage depression leads to serious personality disorders.

Tearfulness in women

Tearfulness in women has many causes. Tears appear because of grievances or vice versa of any joy, with hormonal changes, stress, fatigue and much more. Let's consider the basic factors provoking tearfulness in women.

• Stressful situations cause a negative emotional shock and, as a result, tearfulness. The explanation for this is quite simple, the nervous system and psyche do not withstand the burden of stress, so nervousness and tearfulness appear.
• An unstable emotional state, this is another reason for tearfulness in women. Lability depends on the type of temperament and character, that is, each person will react differently to the same situation. Tearfulness is subject to melancholics, so it is very important to learn how to control your mood.
• Depression and apathy provoke not only attacks of tearfulness, but also nervousness and irritability. In this period it seems that everything is up against you, and no one understands you, so your hands go down and tearfulness appears.
• Thyroid disease causes an unstable emotional state and tearfulness. The cause of frequent tears can be in the hyperfunction of the organ, so it is worth to undergo an examination with an endocrinologist.
• Aggression is often replaced by tearfulness. Tears appear in many neurological diseases and panic attacks.
• Premenstrual period, which lasts from three to five days, provokes hormonal reorganization and as a result of tearfulness.
• The period of pregnancy is considered the most emotional time in the life of every woman. This is because during all nine months in the body of the future mother hormonal changes occur, so the woman becomes hypersensitive to various factors.
• Climax causes changes on the hormonal background, this is due to the fact that the oocytes no longer produce hormones. That is, the female body is preparing for old age, and this provokes mood swings and hormonal bursts.
• Head trauma may be accompanied by impaired brain function. Because of this, a person suffers from frequent causeless tearfulness and sharp mood swings. As a rule, such pathologies are not amenable to treatment.

To treat female whining is best for a neurologist or a psychologist, depending on the cause of tears. Remember that an unstable emotional state requires diagnosis and treatment, as it can be a symptom of many diseases of the body.

Tearfulness during menstruation

Tearfulness during menstruation is associated with a change in the hormonal background. In the premenstrual period in the female body, there are many changes, both physiological and psychological. Female body is a real mystery with a lot of features, so the period of monthly for each girl is individual. The main differences relate to the symptomatology and duration of the cycle. All this is due to the adaptation of the organism to the upcoming hormonal changes. It is against this background that there is tearfulness, which makes itself felt in the early days of menstruation.

During menstruation, minor mental disorders are noted that cause a dull, dull condition, absent-mindedness, apathy, frequent tearfulness and nervousness. It is because of these nervous disorders that cravings for sweets and appetite increase. In order to tearfulness during the menstruation did not make itself felt, it is recommended to strengthen the body, take pain medications (with pains in the lower abdomen and in the lower back) and rest more.

Tanning before monthly

Tearfulness before menstruation or so-called premenstrual syndrome is a normal phenomenon that occurs every month in girls and women. This period is accompanied by frequent mood swings, increased appetite, pain in the chest and lower abdomen and other unpleasant symptoms. And this is not surprising, since hormones fully control all the processes of our body. Therefore, even small changes in the hormonal background affect well-being and can cause tearfulness, irritation, drowsiness, apathy.

To combat PMS and tearfulness, it is recommended to use various homeopathic drugs, to avoid stress, to lead a healthy lifestyle. Sexual activity also affects the severity of premenstrual syndrome and tearfulness. But do not forget about the general state of health, as various ailments can affect the severity of symptoms of PMS.

Tearfulness with menopause

Tearfulness in menopause is caused by a drop in the level of female sex hormones. It is the deficiency of hormones that provokes a lot of unpleasant symptoms, such as irritability, hot flashes, excessive sweating and emotionality. By 35 years in the female body, the stock of eggs begins to deplete, but reproductive functions are still preserved, but estrogen is being produced less and less. By the age of 45, the hormonal level drops to a critical level and climax begins. Doctors distinguish several phases of menopause, which have a different manifestation:

• Premenopause - during this period of hormones is still enough for the onset of menstruation, but their reduction leads to the fact that the monthly become irregular. A woman suffers from frequent mood swings and unconscionable tearfulness, the level of progesterone begins to fall.
• Menopause - menstruation stops, as the amount of sex hormones drops to a critical level. During this period, mood jumps, irritability, resentment, tearfulness and unreasonable aggression still occur.
• Postmenopause is the last phase of menopause, during which hormones are not produced at all. Ovaries and uterus diminish in size, the functions of the ovaries die out. This period is considered the onset of biological old age.

Hormonal changes provoke numerous metabolic disorders. In addition to tearfulness, women complain of hot flashes and a sudden increase in pressure. Hormonal disorders cause various nervous disorders: depression, panic, hysteria, anxiety and others. All this is accompanied by increased sweating, impaired functions of the adrenal gland and thyroid gland.

To combat tearfulness in menopause it is necessary to carry out hormone replacement therapy. For these purposes, use special vitamin preparations containing analogues of female sex hormones (progesterone, estrogen). Hormone therapy replenishes the lack of hormones and allows you to return full-fledged female health.

Tearfulness in pregnancy

Tearfulness during pregnancy is considered normal, as it is caused by significant hormonal changes, both at the physiological and psychological levels. Many future mothers suffer from irritability, tearfulness, isolation, nervousness. Sharp mood swings are characteristic for the first weeks of pregnancy. Because of the increase in the level of progesterone, the female body is being reconstructed and is preparing for pregnancy. But progesterone has a depressing effect on the nervous state, causing depression, tearfulness and irritability.

With this kind of hormonal changes, tearfulness can be considered an absolutely normal reaction. A future mother may feel depressed, sleepy or otherwise suffer from insomnia. But to leave such a state without attention is impossible, since frequent tearfulness leads to a depressive state, which is dangerous for the future mother. Therefore, for a woman waiting for a baby, it is very important not to close oneself, to communicate more, to lead an active lifestyle, to do things you love, to eat and sleep fully. If this does not help to cope with frequent crying, then it's worth asking for medical help, the doctor will prescribe safe soothing drugs.

Tearfulness in early pregnancy

Tearfulness on the early pregnancy lines, according to alternative signs, indicates that the woman will have a daughter. But the appearance of this notion is not known and not justified. As increased tearfulness occurs in most expectant mothers.

The causes of sentimentality, increased tearfulness and a sense of compassion in pregnant women are easily explained from a medical point of view. The thing is that a few days after fertilization, the female body begins to produce a pregnancy hormone that excites the cerebral cortex and the nervous system. Such physiological reactions affect the mood, lead to irritability, tearfulness and resentment.

But there is also the psychological side of tearfulness in the early stages of pregnancy. Each future mother worries about the health of the child, and the future motherhood bears a burden of responsibility. Fears of future parents are fully justified, but should not turn into a phobia. Preparation for future motherhood and childbirth is considered a good cure for emotional stress. In most cases, tearfulness passes by itself, but if the mood is constantly deteriorating, then it is necessary to protect oneself from emotional loads and shocks. It must be remembered that during pregnancy, not only the physiology of the child, but also the main features of the character is born. Therefore, the future mother should be happy and feel confident.

Tearfulness before delivery

Tearfulness before delivery is associated with a change in the concentration of hormones produced, which are responsible for the normal course of pregnancy and the physiological course of childbirth. Any failures in this system lead to irreversible complications (miscarriages, premature infants). Hormonal changes are considered a natural process that starts automatically and does not depend on our desire. A special role is played by the pituitary gland, which is responsible for the regulation and production of oxytocin, the hormone stimulating the genus activity.

Many women before birth can increase the thyroid gland, which intensively produces hormones. Very often, and after childbirth, there are failures in the work of this body. At the end of the third semester, a couple of weeks before the proposed delivery, hormonal changes enter a new phase. The level of progesterone decreases, and the amount of estrogen increases. This stimulates the production of prostaglandins, which respond to uterine contractions and excite generic activity. It is against this background that there is a frequent causeless tearfulness, sharp mood swings and nervousness.

Tearfulness after childbirth

Tearfulness after childbirth is noted in many young mothers and this phenomenon is common. The reasons for tearfulness in this period lie in the fact that hormones still do not have time to pass into a normal state and the body continues to work in the mode of pregnancy. Hormonal bursts can be caused not by the ideal shape and appearance, since these moments are of concern to many young mothers. But it's all fixable, you just have to wait a little.

Sometimes it's even useful to cry, because future mothers should be discharged. After the birth of the baby there is a lot of worries, constant lack of sleep, nervousness and even aggressiveness. With the problem of tearfulness, you can see a doctor, the doctor will prescribe safe herbal preparations to restore the nervous system. But all the same, do not forget that after the birth of the female nervous system in an unstable state, so tearfulness does not apply to any pathologies or ailments. Rest more often, try to relax and support the nervous system with vitamins and minerals.

Tearfulness in men

Tearfulness in men is associated with age-related changes and hormonal fading. Male climax comes gradually, that is, it can not be associated with any life events. But recent studies have shown that most men aged 50-60 years have serious endocrine disorders in the body. During this period, the production of testosterone decreases and the production of adrenal hormones by female hormones increases. That is, tearfulness in men can be associated with these changes.

But pathological neuropsychiatric disorders that provoke tearfulness may appear due to frequent stress and emotional trauma. There is a tendency to depression, weakening of memory and intellectual data, sexual frustration, narrowing of the circle of interests. At the same time this period is characterized by increased palpitation, sweating and other symptoms characteristic of the female menopause.

There is also pathological tearfulness in men, which is caused by a severe menopause. This phenomenon is rare and is a harbinger of anxious depressive conditions. The treatment of tearfulness and other side symptoms is handled by the andrologist. Patients undergo complex therapy. In some cases, tranquilizers, physiotherapy methods, intake of vitamins and minerals are used for treatment. Drug treatment is carried out strictly according to the doctor's indications and with extreme caution. The prognosis of eliminating nervousness and tearfulness in men is favorable, as life-threatening disorders, hormonal bursts do not cause.

Tearfulness after a stroke

Tearfulness after a stroke occurs as a result of damage to the brain. Many doctors call such a disease "tears of the right hemisphere." A person suffers not only from an unstable emotional background, but also from aggressiveness, euphoria, irritability and other side effects. As a rule, tearfulness after a stroke passes independently. That is, the brain completely compensates for the extent of the lesion. But the duration of the recovery period depends on the compensatory abilities of the brain, the area and localization of the lesion.

There are several alternative methods that can alleviate a patient's condition after a stroke and eliminate frequent tears. Consider the popular medicinal recipes:

• Take 50 g of honey and dilute them in 500 ml of boiled water. It is recommended to take a honey drink 3-4 times a day for 150 g.
• Pour two spoonfuls of melissa with boiling water, put in a water bath and bring to a boil. The drug should be infused for 1-2 hours, after which it must be filtered and take ½ cup 3 times a day.
• Pour boiling water 20 g of Ivan-tea and bring to a boil. The drink should be infused for an hour, after which it must be filtered. Take the drug is recommended 2 times a day for ½ cup.

Old Tearfulness

Older whining is one of the symptoms of an organic mental disorder, that is, dementia. This pathology is accompanied not only by tearfulness, but also by a decrease in intelligence and memory impairments. The exact causes of this condition are not established. As for the symptomatology, in elderly patients there are short-term memory failures, aggressiveness and heightened emotionality.

When such symptoms appear, it is recommended to undergo a series of examinations. Diagnosis of the brain and thyroid gland is mandatory. If no violations are found, the patient is prescribed psychosocial therapy and medications. Therapy provides support and care for the elderly patient by relatives. And drugs can prescribe medications to improve cerebral circulation and maintain the immune system.

Diagnosis of tearfulness

Diagnosis of tearfulness is a complex of methods aimed at establishing the cause of an unstable emotional state and tearfulness. Diagnosis deals with a neurologist who, if necessary, gives directions to other specialists.

The doctor collects an anamnesis, being guided by the duration, frequency and nature of tearfulness, also the accompanying symptoms are important. Patients may complain of drowsiness or insomnia, nervousness, irritability, apathy, attacks of aggression and anxiety. Often tearfulness accompanied by increased fatigue, except this may occur increased sweating, muscle tension, shortness of breath, tremor of the extremities.

Since tearfulness often arises from a change in the hormonal background, the patient is given blood donation to the level of hormones. Be sure to conduct a survey of the thyroid gland, adrenal and urogenital system. If tearfulness is not accompanied by physical signs, then the cause of tears is psychological. In this case, the doctor conducts diagnostic tests and ECG to exclude the mental disorder. According to the diagnostic results, treatment is selected, as a rule, it is a means to calm the nervous system.

Treatment of tearfulness

Treatment for crying depends on the cause causing tears. Before prescribing any medicines, the doctor conducts diagnostics to exclude various kinds of diseases. Obligatory is a wide neurological examination to exclude pathologies of the nervous system. A neurologist and a psychiatrist are engaged in treatment of increased tearfulness. But at first you need to turn to a family therapist who will give directions to other specialists.

Treatment of tearfulness is carried out both medically and with the use of psychotherapeutic agents. The doctor appoints sedatives and hormonal drugs to reduce the threshold of irritability, nervousness and, as a result, tearfulness.
