Increasing the reactivity of the body with medication and non-medication in pediatrics

Abstract

Stress and adjustment disorders are a significant reason for the exponential growth of most chronic noncommunicable diseases. The stress reaction is a genetically determined nonspecific adaptation mechanism, however, with an excessively intense and prolonged course, it becomes a factor in the pathogenesis of many somatic diseases, immunodeficiencies, the cause of a decrease in the threshold of resistance to infectious diseases. The presence of similar mechanisms of adaptation reactions and the development of increased meteosensitivity made it possible to distinguish the «adaptation-meteotropic syndrome». Various methods of treatment and prevention of adaptive disorders have been proposed, including medication and non-medication. Most of the provisions of the theory of the body’s reactivity have been dynamically developed and still have important practical applications.
