L’emergenza COVID-19 che doveva essere di poche settimane si è trasformata in una difficile e stressante quotidianità con effetti duraturi sulla psiche delle persone.
Oltre agli effetti diretti dell’infezione da COVID-19 la pandemia ha avuto conseguenze importanti a livello di stress psicologico e sociale. Come studi medici descrivono (v. bibliografia) tra le più comuni e invalidanti conseguenze della pandemia troviamo: ansia, depressione, insonnia, stress cronico.
Paura di infettarsi, ammalarsi, morire provocano ansia; isolarsi dai propri cari, contagiare gli altri, non poter uscire, non poter avere una vita sociale, l’incertezza del lavoro e di un guadagno aumentano lo stato d’ansia e provocano depressione.
Con l’emergenza pandemica COVID-19, oltre alle dirette conseguenze dell’infezione, si stanno evidenziando quadri iniziali di stati ansiosi e depressivi anche in persone cosiddette sane, ovvero in assenza di quadri di ansia e depressione veri e propri.
Studi medici di recente pubblicazione (v. bibliografia) indicano che la terapia REAC® è utile nell’aiutare persone affette da ansia e depressione indotte da pressioni ambientali. I protocolli di neuromodulazione REAC®, NPO e NPPO-CB, sono di aiuto per ristabilire una buona qualità della vita e ridurre gli effetti neuropsicologici e comportamentali indotti.
I protocolli REAC® sono un aiuto anche nell’ottica preventiva di questi disturbi.
