Anxiety is the expectation of something unpleasant and bad in your life. It poisons our existence, prevents us from rejoicing and enjoying life. We become slaves to this feeling, having arisen in our head, a vague anxious expectation grows to universal proportions, and now we can no longer think about anything other than the event that worries us. The most important thing is that our constant anxious thoughts do not help solve the problem, but only aggravate and complicate it even more. Orthodox prayer is better remedy from anxiety, she concentrates and finds the right solution in a difficult situation.
Effective prayer for anxiety and fear
Anxiety and fear often arise due to lack of self-confidence and own strength. For example, you have completed some work and are worried about how it will be appreciated. Moreover, even knowing that the work was done perfectly does not reduce your feeling of anxiety. As a rule, this is associated with low self-esteem and... There is an anxious state associated with the characteristics of the psychotype of personality. For example, an overly emotional and overly caring mother, worried and worried about her child, continues to take care of her over-aged child into adulthood, not allowing him to build his own life. Orthodox prayer for anxiety and fear will help you feel calmer about any life situations.

It is worth noting that people pray in cases where forgiveness, finding meaning, and directing a person to the true path are necessary. A sincere prayer service helps in returning favor and blessing.
The Mother of God is considered the savior of sinful people. She vouches, takes us on bail before the Almighty.

In particular, if a child falls into the wrong circle, turning to the Mother of God helps get rid of bad influences.
After regular prayer, a person’s soul is cleansed, and he gradually begins to enjoy life.
Prayer to the Mother of God “Helper of Sinners”
March 7/20 and May 29/June 11 are considered the saint's days of remembrance. The prayer service at this time is most powerful. This is especially true in those cases when the prayer is truly sincere and supported by a person’s deep faith.
Troparion, tone 4
“Now all despondency falls silent and the fear of despair disappears, sinners in the sorrow of their hearts find consolation and are illuminated with Heavenly love: today the Mother of God extends to us a saving hand and speaks from Her Most Pure Image, saying: I am the Helper of sinners to My Son, this One gave me for they cannot hear me.
In the same way, people, burdened with many sins and sorrows, fall at the foot of Her icon with tears, crying out: Intercessor of the world, the Helper of sinners, implore with Your Mother's prayers the Savior of all, that with Divine forgiveness He may cover our sins and open the bright doors of heaven to us, for You are intercession and salvation of the Christian race."
Prayer 1
“O Most Blessed Lady, Protector of the Christian race, refuge and salvation of those who flow to You!
We know, truly we know how greatly we have sinned and are angry, O Merciful Lady, the Son of God born in the flesh of You, but I have seen many images of those who angered His mercy before me: tax collectors, harlots and other sinners, to whom forgiveness of their sins was given, for the sake of repentance and confession. Thou art imagining the images of those pardoned by the eyes of my sinful soul, and to that extent God's mercy, which I received, looking, I dared, and I, a sinner, resort with repentance to Your mercy.
O All-Merciful Lady, give me a helping hand and ask Your Son and God with Your motherly and most holy prayers for forgiveness of my grave sin.
I believe and confess that He Whom You gave birth to, Your Son, is truly Christ, the Son of the Living God, Judge of the living and the dead, rewarding each according to his deeds.
I again believe and confess that You are the true Mother of God, the source of mercy, the consolation of those who mourn, the recovery of the lost, a strong and unceasing Intercessor to God, who dearly loves the Christian race, and the Helper of repentance.
Truly, there is no other help and protection for man except You, the Most Merciful Lady, and no one else, trusting in You, was ashamed when, by You begging God, no one was quickly abandoned.
For this sake, I pray to Your innumerable goodness: open the doors of Your mercy to me, who have gone astray and fallen into the darkness of the depths, do not disdain me, the foul one, do not despise my sinful prayer, do not abandon me, the accursed one, as an evil enemy seeks to kidnap me into destruction, but beg for may Thy merciful Son and God be born to me, may He forgive my great sins and deliver me from my destruction; as if I, together with all who have received forgiveness, will sing and glorify God’s immeasurable mercy and Your shameless intercession for me in this life and in the endless eternity. Amen".
Prayer 2
“To whom shall I cry, O Lady, to whom shall I resort in my sorrow, if not to You, the Queen of Heaven?
Who will accept my cry and my sighing and quickly obediently heed our prayers, if not You, All-Blessed Helper, the Joy of all our joys?
Hear the present hymns and prayers offered to You for me, a sinner.
And be my Mother and Patroness and Giver of Your joy to all of us.
Arrange my life as you want and as you wish.
I commend myself to Your protection and providence, and may I always joyfully sing to You with everyone:
Rejoice, O Blessed One;
Rejoice, Delighted One.
Rejoice, Most Blessed One;
Rejoice, Glorified One forever.
Peculiarities
In times of melancholy and despair, prayers are used. Moreover, they turn to the Mother of God, the Great Martyr Barbara, the Wonderworker of Zadonsk in front of their icons. In this way, the Saints will hear requests addressed to them and help the person.
There is nothing stopping you from wearing a small “pocket” icon. When your mind becomes clouded with dark thoughts or despair, you should pray. Moreover, the frequency of the procedure is unlimited, it all depends on individual needs.
While pronouncing prayer lines, it is necessary to ask for the soul to be filled with light and grace. Pronounce:
“Mother of God, dear, darling, give me the strength to survive my troubles. Do not leave me alone with my sorrows and bad thoughts. Guide me on the right path. I don’t know how to live further. Don’t let me break and say goodbye to life. Help, Mother, I ask you. My darling is tormented and there is no rest for her. Fill my life with meaning and my heart with love. Amen, Amen, Amen."

conclusions
Prayer has power and helps a person find peace of mind. In cases where you feel despair and pain, you need to turn to the Higher Powers for help. You choose the prayer service option yourself. Light candles for the health of loved ones, do a good deed, in particular, give alms.
Holy water and washing the face with it have a beneficial effect on a person. In order to fill the atmosphere of the house with peace, harmony and kindness, the corners of the house should be sprayed.
A sincere appeal to the Higher Powers can save a person from bad thoughts, despondency, and guide him to the true path.
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, an unpleasant feeling of anxiety appears, inexplicable fear arises, and even tears well up. Most often this is due to psychological stress. Negative emotions gradually accumulate in the body, and at some point nervous system stops coping on his own. It is dangerous to continue to suppress this negativity in yourself, because the consequences can be very serious. How can you help yourself improve your morale? Church ministers advise turning to God and pacifying the soul by reading the Holy Scriptures.
The best prayers to calm the soul
Everyday bustle distracts city dwellers from unity with God. The weaker this connection, the more vulnerable the person himself becomes: “just as the body cannot live without food, so without prayer the soul is not able to preserve its own life” (St. Augustine). Of course, one cannot consider canonical texts only as an antidepressant, but reading prayers does have a therapeutic effect.
Miraculous prayer to the Mother of God “Rejoice, Virgin”
Believers consider this prayer one of the most powerful. The text is very easy to remember, but there is great power in these short lines.
“Virgin Mother of God, Hail, Gracious Mary,
The Lord is with You: blessed are You among women,
and blessed is the fruit of Your womb,
For you gave birth to the Savior of our souls.
It is worthy to eat as one truly blesses Thee Theotokos,
ever-blessed and most immaculate and Mother of our God.
The most honorable cherub and the most glorious without comparison seraphim,
who gave birth to God the Word without corruption,
We magnify the real Mother of God Thee.
Amen."
The Queen of Heaven is the patroness and intercessor for every Orthodox person. Glorifying the Mother of God, a Christian expresses gratitude to her for giving the Savior to the world. Reading miraculous prayer Helps you quickly calm down, get rid of despondency and sadness, and gain confidence in your own abilities.
Prayer to the Great Martyr Barbara
Saint Barbara helps people suffering from physical ailments and mental anguish. Turning to her will help relieve even severe melancholy and restore inner harmony. It’s good if you have at least a small image of the great martyr that you can carry with you.
“Holy glorious and all-praiseworthy Great Martyr of Christ Varvaro! Gathered today in your Divine temple, people and the race of your relics venerate and kiss with love, your suffering as a martyr and in their passion-maker Christ Himself, who gave you, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him, with pleasing praises, we pray to you , the well-known desire of our intercessor: pray with us and for us, God who beseeches Him from His compassion, may He mercifully hear us asking for His goodness, and not leave us with all the needful petitions for salvation and life, and grant a Christian death to our belly, painless, shameless, I will give peace, I will partake of the Divine Mysteries, and He will give His great mercy to everyone in every place, in every sorrow and situation that requires His love for mankind and help, so that by the grace of God and your warm intercession, with soul and body always abiding in health, we glorify God, wondrous in His saints Israel, who does not remove His help from us always, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen."
Prayer to Matrona of Moscow
Blessed Matrona enjoys unconditional respect among all Christians. People call upon her in a variety of situations, hoping for help in worldly affairs and spiritual support. If your soul suffers and needs consolation, read the prayer to the righteous Staritsa. Soon you will feel relief and find inner peace. IN difficult situations It is recommended to go to a temple that has an icon of this saint.
“O blessed mother Matrono, hear and accept us now, sinners, praying to you, who in all your life has learned to receive and listen to all those who suffer and mourn, with faith and hope who resort to your intercession and help, giving quick help and miraculous healing to everyone; May your mercy not fail now for us, unworthy, restless in this busy world and nowhere finding consolation and compassion in spiritual sorrows and help in bodily illnesses: heal our illnesses, deliver us from the temptations and torment of the devil, who passionately fights, help us convey our everyday Cross, to bear all the hardships of life and not lose the image of God in it, to preserve the Orthodox faith until the end of our days, to have strong trust and hope in God and unfeigned love for others; help us, after departing from this life, to achieve the Kingdom of Heaven with all those who please God, glorifying the mercy and goodness of the Heavenly Father, glorified in the Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen."
Prayer "Living Help"
Another text that can work wonders. The Strongest Prayer helps overcome fears and cope with feelings of anxiety. In the Psalter it is listed as Psalm 90, but among the common people the test has taken root under the name “Living Help”. In addition to getting rid of mental torment, prayer is powerful amulet from troubles and dangers. Believers often write down the message on paper and carry it with them.
“He who lives in the help of the Most High will dwell in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the cloak, and from the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise you will look at your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body, as His Angel commanded you to keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.”
Prayer when the soul is hard
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR SOUL HURTS, IF YOUR SOUL IS BAD. (prayers to be read and the power of holy sources)
“Without sorrow there is no salvation, but the Kingdom of Heaven awaits those who endure.” (Reverend Seraphim of Sarov)
What to do when your soul hurts?
In this small article it is impossible to solve the question of how to treat mental pain, how to survive losses and bereavements. I will only tell you about the small first steps that will help move the painful state from dead center and, perhaps, will begin to change the painful state of mind.
When you feel bad, it’s difficult to communicate with someone. Western recipes for treating mental pain from a psychotherapist are, for the most part, not suitable for Russian people. And, I honestly admit as a doctor, many traditional medical approaches to treating mental pain come down to prescribing certain medications and simple verbal consolation.
Traditional Russian approaches to treating mental pain in conversations with friends (if you have the strength) or taking “green wine” only aggravate the severity of mental pain. The best thing an Orthodox person can do when their soul hurts is to go to confession and receive communion.
Confession is a grace-filled release of the soul, and there are cases when one confession completely cured not only mental pain, but also old and serious mental illnesses.
Priests believe that depression is the cry of the soul about its troubles, about its plight. Big or small sins “cry out,” and unrepentance torments the soul.
In fact, the feeling of sin is the awareness of the discrepancy between the pure holy spirit present in the soul of every person and one’s behavior, desires or thoughts, perhaps under the control of “demons”. Awareness of this conflict gives rise to another sin - despondency. The “demon” of despondency is very powerful and can deprive a person of his last strength, pushing him to the worst.
It would seem that the simplest thing in this situation is to go to the temple to the priest and tell him in spirit everything that oppresses you, that makes your soul ache. Father will accept your confession, pray for the forgiveness of your sins, you will partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ and everything will go smoothly.
However, let’s not lie, few people who consider themselves Orthodox go to church for confession. In most cases, the “Orthodox ritual” comes down to a rare trip to church, where a few candles are lit, notes are written, and “money for the temple” is given. The Orthodox duty is fulfilled and you can relax until your next random visit to the church. Even in such a healthy state of mind, people rarely turn to confession and communion. Coming to confession is associated with many fears: “What if I prepared incorrectly?”, “What if my sins are unforgivable?”, “What if the priest scolds me?”, “Will the priest have time?”, “I will confess, and everyone in the temple will look at me?, “And where can I look for a priest in the temple - there are only old women who shush everyone?”
What to do? It’s almost impossible for one person to cope with mental pain. Of course, time heals mental wounds. But how to survive this very time of mental pain? Then, when the pain in my soul subsides, yes, there will probably be mental strength and a trip to the doctor, who will prescribe the necessary medications and, perhaps, they will also recommend a priest, who will listen to all the troubles and sorrows with love and understanding and tell you how to live further, how to heal mental pain.
I will try to describe 10 steps with which, it seems to me, you can begin to heal the pain in your soul. IN
At one time, some of these steps helped me too. My personal opinion may not coincide with the opinion of Orthodox clergy - please consult with your confessor if you feel that the proposed path is not suitable for you.
Wear a cross around your neck if you don't usually wear one.
Try to stop analyzing your condition and returning in your thoughts to traumatic events again and again.
Accept your suffering as a given. Make peace with them. Stop reasoning on the topics: “Why do I need this?”, “Why me?”
Think about something else: “Why did the Lord send me this suffering?”
If you hear that someone is trying to engage in a conversation with you in your thoughts, do not answer.
Say: “Get away from me, unclean spirit, I don’t want to listen to you, I believe only in my Lord Jesus Christ, I worship, and He alone do I serve.”
Give your thoughts simple and wholesome food - prayers: use simple and short rule St. Ignatius Brianchaninov:
"Thank God for everything! God! I surrender to Your Holy will! Thy will be with me! God! I thank You for everything that You have been pleased to send to me. I accept what is worthy according to my deeds; remember me, Lord, in Your Kingdom!”
Immerse yourself in these thoughts. Read the Jesus Prayer to yourself as often as possible:
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
If you are closer to the appeal to the Mother of God, read:
You will notice how every day prayers give you more and more strength, how the forces of evil retreat from you.
In the morning, getting out of bed after reading these simple prayers, turn your face to the west (where the sun usually sets) and say:
“I renounce you, Satan, and all your works, and all your angels, and all your ministry, and all your pride.”
Then blow in the same direction. The same words should be said in the evening after prayer. "May God rise again"
Before lying down on the bed, reading a prayer:
May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may they flee from His presence. As smoke disappears, let them disappear; just as wax melts in the face of fire, so may demons perish from the presence of those who love God and signify themselves with the sign of the cross, and say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away demons by the power of You, the crucified Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and trampled upon the power the devil, and who gave us Himself, His Honest Cross to drive away every adversary. O Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Lady Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen."
After reading the prayer, cross all four cardinal directions and your bed with your hand.
Ask to bring you holy water from a temple or holy spring. Sprinkle your home, your bed, yourself with holy water and drink holy water with prayer:
Lord my God, may your holy gift and your holy water be for the remission of my sins, for the enlightenment of my mind, for the strengthening of my mental and physical strength, for the health of my soul and body, for the subjugation of my passions and infirmities, according to your infinite mercy through your prayers Your Most Pure Mother and all Your Saints. Amen."
When you feel strong enough to go outside, ask someone close to you to take you to a holy spring with a font. Accompanied by a loved one whom you trust, try to bathe three times in the waters of the holy spring. The waters of the holy spring have great healing powers and are capable of driving away the most powerful demons.
If there are no holy springs in your area, with the help of an accompanying person, wade the river or stream three times, trying to plunge into your head. If there is no river in your area, pour holy water from the temple on the top of your head. It is believed that demons “sit” there.
When, after washing, you gain more strength, visit the temple for the sacrament of Blessing of Unction, or Anointing of Unction or Unction. Through this Sacrament, believers are given the healing power of God, which also significantly weakens the action of demons. Also, forgotten and unconscious sins are forgiven.
The sacrament consists of the sevenfold anointing of parts of the body (forehead, nostrils, cheeks, lips, chest and hands) with consecrated oil, which is preceded by the reading of the Apostle, the Gospel, a short litany and prayer for the healing of a person and the forgiveness of his sins. During anointing, the priest prays, places the Gospel on the person’s head with the letters facing down, and says a prayer of absolution from sins. The soul becomes lighter. The pain recedes.
Let's move on to confession and communion. It is best to confess in a monastery located far from tourist routes. It is necessary to find out in advance which of the monks is more experienced in this matter, because a lot depends on the personality of the confessor.
If there are no spiritually sensible priests nearby, you will have to find out from the believers where they are and go there. Your future depends on the quality of this confession! It should not be general, but only individual. If there are no monasteries nearby, find out about quiet rural parishes, where there are no tourists, where there are few people, and the priest will have time to attend to you.
ABOUT next steps The priest and the doctor will tell you.
Prayer to your Guardian Angel:
“Holy Angel of the Lord, my Guardian, save and preserve my soul from the snares of the enemy.”

If the soul hurts, if the soul feels bad.
10 steps personal experience way out of a mental crisis. One of the possible solutions.
Venerable Seraphim of Sarov
Each of us has had, has and will have moments or periods when the soul feels unbearably bad, when the soul hurts and grieves. I don’t want to see anyone, talk to anyone. I don't want to eat, I don't want to move. At such moments, one cannot believe that one day the soul will recover from the pain and learn to rejoice again. It is impossible to look into the future in such a state. You see only a blank wall in front of you and bitter losses or mistakes behind you. Can't sleep at night. There is no strength for anything. Get out of this state of mind very, very hard. The soul hurts, the soul feels bad.
the soul hurts. What to do when the soul hurts? In this small article it is impossible to solve the question of how to treat mental pain, how to survive losses and bereavements. I will only tell you about the small first steps that will help move the painful state from a dead point and, perhaps, begin to change the painful state of mind.

And, I honestly admit as a doctor, many traditional medical approaches to treating mental pain come down to prescribing certain medications and simple verbal consolation.

If these questions create serious obstacles to confession from a healthy and strong man, then what can we say about a person in loss of strength, when his soul hurts?
may your holy gift and your holy water be for the forgiveness of my sins, for the enlightenment of my mind, for the strengthening of my mental and physical strength,
for the health of my soul and body, for the subjugation of my passions and infirmities,
according to Thy infinite mercy through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all Thy Saints.
Holy Angel of the Lord, my Guardian, save and preserve my soul from the snares of the enemy.
How? Prayer with tears, repentance, communion. You need to have the commandments in your heart; Every week, examine your conscience to see if you are living according to the commandments.”
Whoever wants peace, grace, joy to be in him, and also for peace, friendship, and love to reign among his neighbors, must repent, that is, change completely, and most importantly, he must seek consolation in the Lord the Savior, Who is always ready help the penitent.
"When I die, go to my grave and tell me everything you need, and I will hear you, and before you even have time to leave it, I will fulfill everything and give it to you. If someone, even a mile from my grave, turns to me, then I will respond to him too."
– inhale air through the nose, inflating the stomach.
– hold your breath for 1 second.
– we exhale for a long time, as slowly as possible through the mouth (lips pursed into a tube), exhaling the air until the very end, until a feeling of “emptiness”. As you exhale, imagine that the air is wrapping you up, picking you up and lulling you to sleep.
– after exhaling, pause for 2-3 seconds and notice how with each exhalation your heartbeat slows down, it becomes lighter, and at the end of the exhalation drowsiness begins to appear.
– repeat 10-20-30 breathing movements and switch to the normal breathing rhythm.
– now we do an exercise for the eyes: close our eyes as slowly as possible, even slower!
– as your eyes close, you may notice how your eyelids begin to get heavier and heavier.
– closed their eyes. Fine. Now, just as slowly, as slowly as possible, we open our eyes. We open it with force - even if the eyelids have become heavy and the eyes are sticking together.
- Fine. Now we slowly lower our heavy eyelids again.
– repeat the exercise with your eyes several times until you are still able to open and close your eyes before falling into deep sleep.
Realize that the main task of any media is to deliver negative news. Don't believe me? Take a piece of paper and a pen. Divide the sheet in half. Place a minus on the left side of the column and a plus on the right side. Now turn on the TV to a news broadcast (open a news website) and sort all the news by the emotions they evoke in you: on the left - negative, on the right - positive. Now count which column has more news.
Why does this happen? It’s very simple: journalists cannot make money on positive news. In addition to journalists, currency or stock traders make money from news. Are you not one of them? No? So why do you need this daily stream of news? News does not improve your educational or cultural level in any way - rather the opposite. The news carries negative emotions(indignation, anger, fear, aggression, envy) which you are forced to somehow process and react (in conversation, in a quarrel, in the affect of emotions, in dreams). Negative information can be repressed into the subconscious and remain there in the form of a time bomb, erupting in the same nightmares. Why do you need all this? Just block this constant channel of information that is absolutely useless for your life and well-being. This is not so easy to do: the media uses hidden and explicit suggestions “Stay with us”, “Don’t switch”, “Stay informed”, “Subscribe to the news”. After all, journalists need to retain their audience - otherwise who will pay them for advertising?
But when you free your consciousness from this flow of information, you will very soon be surprised to notice how your physical and mental state begins to change. What to do with your free time? Read smart books to really get useful information and improve your educational level.

Prayer when your soul is heavy and you want to cry, 3 prayers
When your soul is heavy and you want to cry, prayers for grief will help you. From vanity, losses, divorces and squabbles, you become exhausted, reacting to the world with litigation and tears.
My dears, it would seem that there is no reason for devastated sobbing.
You can't understand what's happening.
The thought immediately arises that damage has been caused.
Please do not traumatize your soul by wiping away the tears.
The best solution would be to strengthen your faith with the help of Orthodox prayers.
Light 3 candles. Place an icon of Jesus Christ, Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Blessed Eldress Matrona of Moscow nearby.
Repent before the Lord God, remembering all your sins.
At this moment, you will want to cry again, but these are tears of purification.
Start reading prayers to help your soul find grace and peace.
Blessed Elder, Matrona of Moscow. You heal the souls that weep heavily because slaves forget about their sins. Dry away my tears that flow in sorrow, calm down all the misfortunes that nest in life. Thy will be done. Amen.
Wonderworker Nicholas, Defender and Savior. We pray to you when we groan, sometimes when we die in mental anguish. Deliver me from the tears of those who mourn, when I am lost, guide me on the right path. Thy will be done. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. Forgive me for crying because of adversity, not seeing the righteous people nearby. For the burden that I carry in sinfulness, I wipe away a bitter tear from my eyes. Have mercy, O God, strengthen your faith, sprinkle your soul with holy water. Thy will be done. Amen.
Read each prayer 3 times, looking with rapture at the holy images.
When your soul is heavy and you want to cry, remember that faith in Christ will help you.

Amen. Prayer to your Guardian Angel: In the Leningrad and Pskov regions I can recommend for confession: The “Mental Cross” technique for treating anxiety, fears and restlessness To restore normal night sleep, use our video or audio classes "Healing Dreams" . Before your doctor prescribes treatment (if necessary), you can support your strength with one of the most harmless medicines, which simply consists of the metal Magnesium and vitamin B6: Magne B6(France, more expensive) or Magnelis B6 (Russia, cheaper). This remedy helps to quickly relieve internal tension. Clinical studies have shown that therapy with Magne B6 can reliably improve mental and somatic (vegetative) manifestations of anxiety with the same effectiveness as the use of tranquilizers, and its antidepressant effect is comparable to the use of antidepressants. But here it is important to note that therapy with a magnesium-containing drug, and in particular Magne B6 Forte, should be long-term - from 2-3 months to a year. The minimum period of treatment with magnesium-containing preparations is 2 months - it can be recommended for young people under the age of 40 years. For persons over 40 years of age, the drug should be taken for 2-3 to 6 months. People who are in a state of acute or chronic stress need to take magnesium throughout the period of negative impact of stress factors. For chronic stress in the absence of kidney disease, it is possible to recommend taking the drug Magnerot(500 mg magnesium) 1-2 tablets per day. It is possible to take Magnerot for a long time - during the entire period of action of the factors causing stress. Magnerot is cheaper than Magne B6. Another harmless remedy for the treatment of anxiety, tension, low mood and sleep disorders is ordinary valerian (valerian extract). However for effective use Valerian must be used in the correct doses. The clinically proven effective effect of valerian extract begins with a single dose of 100 mg (this is 5 tablets of valerian extract 20 mg each). For increased anxiety, irritability, and neuromuscular tension, prescribe 100 mg of valerian extract 3 times a day. Before bedtime (an hour before bedtime) take 400-460 mg of valerian (20-23 tablets of 20 mg each). Taking valerian in such doses reduces the time of sleep onset by 9-11 minutes, makes sleep deeper, and reduces the number of night awakenings. The recommended duration of treatment with valerian is up to 28 days. Ratio of valerian extract dose to valerian root weight: 200 mg of valerian extract is equivalent to 1 g of dry valerian root. That is, to prepare daily portions of valerian, you will need 0.5 g of dry valerian root per dose, and before bedtime - 2 g of dry valerian root. Other good medicine, which is sold in pharmacies without a prescription, is Afobazole. Afobazole reduces the feeling of constant anxiety (concern, bad feelings, fears), reduces irritability and tearfulness, reduces constant tension, improves sleep, gives more strength and self-confidence, improves concentration and attention. Afobazole does not reduce the speed of psychomotor reactions, does not reduce muscle strength, and its use can be combined with driving a car or performing other complex operator activities. Also, afobazole is not addictive. Afobazole is taken 1 tablet (10 mg) 3 times a day after meals. Relief of anxiety and neuropsychic tension occurs already on the 2-3rd day of taking afobazole. A pronounced effect develops on days 5-7. The course of treatment with afobazole is 2-4 weeks, depending on the effect. The maximum effect develops by the 4th week of taking afobazole. Side effects: when starting to take afobazole, you may experience headache, which will go away within a few days from the start of treatment. Possible allergic reactions. Be sure to consult your doctor before taking afobazole! To support the body during acute and chronic stress, it is important to eat foods that contain substances that reduce the manifestations of stress.
