Asthenic disorders are one of the most common syndromes in clinicalpractice of any specialist and
account for up to 60% of visits to general practitioners. More than half of patients who see a neurologist
have symptoms of asthenia. Asthenia (from the Greek asthéneia – powerlessness, weakness) is a painful
condition manifested by increased fatigue and exhaustion with extreme instability of mood, weakening of
self-control, impatience, restlessness, sleep disturbance, loss of the ability to prolonged mental and
physical stress, intolerance to loud sounds, bright light , pungent odors. Asthenia can be both the initial
manifestation and the end of any disease. Often, after a viral illness, the recovery period can be delayed
for a long time. According to ICD-10, conditions, the main manifestation of which is asthenia, are
considered in the headings “Neurasthenia F48.0”,
