Severe stress affects our entire body. From fear, a person’s palms may sweat, the skin may get goosebumps, even stuttering begins. There is also a “bear disease” – this is when a person begins to have diarrhea with strong excitement. But the psychiatrist Alexander Meshcheryakov spoke about the justice of the phrase “peed out of fear” in his Telegram channel.
According to him, frequent urination against the background of strong unrest has several names: this phenomenon is called a neurogenic or overactive bladder, psychogenic dysuria. In especially severe cases, a person can run to the toilet “in a small way” up to 50 times a day. Moreover, he may seem to have just done all his business, but soon he will feel the impulse again.
When such symptoms appear, many go for examinations to urologists, gynecologists and sometimes neurologists, but doctors only shrug. According to the expert, in some cases it is worth going to a psychotherapist.
Meshcheryakov explained that in itself an overactive bladder is not a separate diagnosis, but rather a symptom. And most often it is associated with anxiety. Sometimes this sign speaks of generalized anxiety disorder. A person with this diagnosis develops chronic anxiety, and sometimes unreasonable. Because of this, his body is in a state of chronic stress, he lives with a sense of danger.
“If you need to run or fight now, then the bubble should be empty. So he tries, ”the doctor explains.
Another reason for frequent urination is social phobia. When a person is very worried about what they will think about him, whether he will seem funny, his bladder also “comes to the rescue” and does everything so that the person goes to the toilet 20 times while there is an opportunity.
Also, frequent urge to go to the toilet can appear with somatoform disorder. In addition, frequent urination can be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder. For a person, going to the toilet can be a protective ritual. For example, he may think that he will only be safe if he goes to the toilet exactly 7 times.
