Does neurasthenia lead to depression?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Can neurasthenia lead to depression?

Doctor's answer:

The condition of neurasthenia can also lead to the recurrence of depressive symptoms, especially for patients with poor mental state and weak willpower. The likelihood of developing this condition is relatively higher in such cases. Therefore, it is recommended that patients maintain a positive mood at all times and, if necessary, undergo psychological counseling or therapy to alleviate excessive mental and spiritual stress, thereby reducing the recurrence of the disease.
