What is inner restlessness?
Inner restlessness is a persistent feeling of tension, nervousness, and agitation. It makes it difficult to relax, concentrate, or unwind – even when there's no apparent external reason for it.
Inner restlessness is a common accompanying symptom of many stress-related conditions and should be taken seriously if it persists for an extended period.
What are the symptoms of inner restlessness?
Typical symptoms include nervousness and restlessness, irritability, the feeling of constantly being "wired," sleep problems, and difficulty concentrating on one thing.
What causes inner restlessness?
Common causes include chronic stress, psychological strain, or an overactive autonomic nervous system. Substance withdrawal or high caffeine consumption can also trigger inner restlessness.
Welche Prognose kann ich erwarten?

What are the risk factors for inner restlessness?
Contributing factors include chronic stress, lack of sleep, caffeine or substance use, as well as pre-existing psychological conditions.
