Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. Can melatonin treat neurasthenia?Doctor's answer:
Hello:It's a pleasure to assist you. Based on the information you've provided, melatonin has a calming and sleep-inducing effect. It can be used as a health product to comprehensively prevent and treat conditions such as elderly depression and Alzheimer's disease. However, it is not suitable for young patients. For neurasthenia, you can take calming and brain-strengthening liquids, gamma-oryzanol, and other medications. Pay attention to maintaining a positive mood. Avoid napping during the day if you're prone to constipation, mental tension, or excessive stress. Stick to regular exercise and engage in more outdoor aerobic activities to keep your spirits up. Wishing you good health!
