Dizziness is much more than a disorder of balance. Those who suffer from persistent dizziness for years quickly notice that concentration, emotional stability and mental health are also severely affected. A qualitative study of patients with an average of 5 years of dizziness experience provides sobering figures.

What the study on mental stress shows:
Out of the vicious cycle: Mental and cognitive involvement is not a weakness, but a logical response of the overloaded nervous system. Never resign yourself to this situation! Many forms of dizziness can be excellently treated with evidence-based approaches.
Anger and frustration (97 %): Almost all of the respondents stated that they experience enormous amounts of frustration, helplessness and anger in their daily lives due to the ongoing restrictions.
Anxiety and panic (93 %): Almost all of the participants developed pronounced anxiety, panic attacks, or a permanent internal restlessness over the course of the study.
Cognitive impairments (90 %): Nine out of ten respondents complained of massive mental exhaustion and blockages in their thinking: Calculation, memory, and focused concentration were noticeably more difficult in everyday life.
Grief and depression (57 %): In well over half of the respondents, the prolonged stress led to depressive episodes and deeper sadness.
Out of the vicious cycle: Mental and cognitive involvement is not a weakness, but a logical response of the overloaded nervous system. Never resign yourself to this situation! Many forms of dizziness can be excellently treated with evidence-based approaches.
