How to reduce 'medical-student's disease'? Especially psychology student's disorder? :-)?
I swear, I have diagnosed myself with every stupid disorder I've studies, from psychoticism to PTSD! More importantly though, when revising anxiety, I become more and more aware of my own anxiety 'symptoms', which I think has led me to become or at least act anxious: what can I do about this! I know it's psychosomatic, but I'm hypersensitive, can't sleep, classic signs of anxiety!
Answers:
The best way to reduce it is to notice that you are, in fact, studying these disorders. As you'll probably have read, it is only when your symptomology restricts your ability to undertake a normal routine and to socialize properly that it qualifies as a disorder.
Also, the reason psychologists are explicitly forbidden from self-diagnosis from the DSM-IV is because all the symptoms listed are intended as if they were all followed by the phrase ". and is easily noticeable by an outside observer."
The symptoms you're reading about only "count" if a trained professional notes them from the outside. It's like losing a tooth; it feels like a really big object to you while it's still in your mouth because of your sensitivity to your own body, but when it's pulled out by an external agent, it's just a little chunk of enamel.
(And, finally, there's a cute term for 'medical-student's disease' because it happens to everyone. And if they all actually did present these symptoms, modern medicine would be a lot more stabby.) :D
You're fine! There's a difference between acute anxiety and rational stress. Take a deep breath and have some tea. :)
yeah i can understand though i am just preparing for medcal college entrance i had all sorts blues, weak immunity. I guess this is a part in making of a doctor. best way is to take help of friends which i did to cure myself. Good luck!
hope you overcome anxiety.
How about balance. Make sure you eat healthy foods, take a long walk each day, spend time with well-balanced friends and make it fun time that includes laughter. Go to the park and watch two year olds play. Play with them. Take your focus off yourself. You are more than a "medical student". The real you is healthy and complete. This too shall pass. Don't take yourself so seriously, Making fun of yourself among friends is good for you. And you can discuss this with another med student who is handling the pressure well, a faculty member you trust, or a counselor.
