喉のつまりでお困りではありませんか？　ヒステリー球について解説します【精神科医・益田裕介/早稲田メンタルクリニック】

Patients often ask me about a feeling of something blocking their throat or something strange in their throat. This is called "globus hystericus" and is a type of stress response. In fact, it happens as often as stiff shoulders. A blocked throat is a motif seen throughout history, like Snow White's apple. A famous comedian said that when he was young, he would get a blockage in his throat when he was stressed. It's a common occurrence, but it's not well known, so internal medicine doctors sometimes diagnose it as reflux or gastritis. A globus hystericus is merely a sign, so treatment does not target it itself. When there is a problem in life, anxiety arises, and it worsens, symptoms appear in the body, but you can't see all of this yourself. Sometimes symptoms appear in the body even if you are not aware of the anxiety or problem. In that case, first bring the person's repressed problem to a point where they can be aware of it, and then solve it. Or, even if it is brought to their awareness, they may believe that they cannot solve it on their own, and in that case, you need to examine whether that is really the case. Then, you need to think about where the problem comes from. Is the feeling of depression due to depression or a developmental disorder, is the anxiety due to interpersonal relationships or workload, etc. There are various cases, so the path to recovery will be different depending on the case. 00:00 "Throat blockage, discomfort" 01:52 A motif recognized throughout history 03:33 Diagnosis in internal medicine 05:22 About treatment 10:14 Where does the problem come from?
