Insist on visiting a therapist. Neuroses can last for several years. During this time, a person noticeably changes - acquires features unusual for him earlier - isolation, aggressiveness or passivity. The long course of the disease is due to the patient being in the environment that caused the neurosis and continues to aggravate it. And until the problem, which has become a catalyst for mental changes, is resolved or disappears from the patient's life, he will not be cured. In this case, psychotherapy should help the patient learn to build relationships with people, be aware of their problems and change their attitude towards themselves and other people. Until the internal conflict of the patient with a neurosis is resolved, there will be no cure.

Help the patient with a neurosis. Relatives should also help him gain confidence. Neurotic - a man incredulous and frightened. Convincing him is very difficult. Every day in his mind the idea that all around the enemies are lying, treacherous and selfish people is becoming increasingly stronger. You need to have a lot of patience to continue communicating with a sick neurosis. Another problem is that the neurotic himself can begin to perform such acts that can be described as antisocial, selfish and immoral. This is because he strives to conform to his distorted vision of the world - it seems to him that all people act in this way.
