Abstract

The article analyzes the effect of biosuggestive therapy on the symptoms of anxiety disorders. It is considered that anxiety disorders are serious psychopathological conditions that significantly impair the quality of life and cause deep suffering in those who experience them. It is important to note that the diagnosis of these disorders is complicated by their symptomatic similarity to other mental and somatic diseases. It is clear that anxiety, although it is a fundamental emotion, can turn into a serious mental disorder when it is pathologically elevated. It is well-founded that without adequate diagnosis and treatment, anxiety disorders can lead to a significant decrease in intellectual and physical performance, as well as contribute to the development of serious depressive states and even cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The classification of anxiety disorders into primary ones, which have a genetic basis, and secondary ones, which are associated with stress or chronic diseases, is considered in detail. The specificity of anxiety symptoms, which depend on the subtype of the disorder, has been demonstrated. Special attention is paid to biosuggestive therapy as an innovative treatment method that integrates verbal and non-verbal suggestion in a light trance state. It is emphasized that biosuggestive therapy allows to transform negative psychological patterns into positive ones, ensuring improvement of well-being and restoration of psychological balance of patients. It is noted that the method is highly effective, with a response of about 92–95% of patients responding positively to treatment, and can be used in both individual and group formats. Conclusions were made that BST can be used as an auxiliary or alternative method in the complex treatment of anxiety disorders, its integrative approach helps to combine various psychotherapeutic techniques to achieve the maximum treatment effect.
