It is a feeling of intense anxiety that prevents one from studying for the exam and using what one knows during the exam.
Strict discipline at home, distrustful parent and teacher criticism, punishments, difficult exam conditions, school failures, underestimation of success, comparisons with other people are the factors that pave the way for the development of test anxiety.
The test taker has negative thought patterns that cause anxiety. The thoughts that he will not be successful, that other people are smarter than himself, that he may forget what he knows during the exam, what people will think of him if he does not succeed, that his situation is not as good as others, that he is very deficient, raises anxiety.
Insomnia, sudden outbursts of anger, disorder in social relations, inability to focus on the lesson and development of disorder in eating habits are the conditions that need to be taken for exam stress.
In the exam, the inability to gather thoughts and attention to what is read occurs. Restlessness, palpitation, sweating, dizziness, nausea, headache, feeling of fear, nervousness, excessive sweating, changes in bowel movements, skin flushing may develop.
As a result of exam anxiety, exam success can decrease up to 40%.
When we calm the child by giving him antidepressant drugs, we can also eliminate the anxiety needed to study for the exam. Side effects such as drowsiness and drowsiness may also occur in the child. Trying to quit these drugs and getting rid of the drug addiction can be a problem later on. Acupuncture, which is a balance therapy, is one of the most effective methods in reducing exam anxiety.
Acupuncture is applied to the points that provide balance in the ear and body with laser light in children with needles or who are uncomfortable with the needle. In children, laser acupuncture with light is generally preferred.
Acupuncture relieves symptoms of anxiety.
Acupuncture is a drug-free, side-effect and permanent treatment.
The ideal time to start treatment is 1-1.5 months before the exam. An average of 10 sessions of treatment, 2 sessions a week, is usually sufficient.
As the cerebral blood flow increases with acupuncture treatment, the concentration, memory and memory capacities of the brain increase. In this way, there will be better concentration on the lesson.
After the stimuli generated during stress are perceived and interpreted by our limbic system (the system that regulates the involuntary functioning of organs such as the heart, stomach and lungs), the body’s response is regulated. The primary effect of acupuncture here is to regulate the limbic system and balance the working order of our heart, digestive system, and the secretion patterns of our hormones.
Thus, responses to stress become more balanced, concentration and attention increase. It raises the stress threshold. In this way, we can approach the events that we were angry, angry, scared and excited more easily. Endorphins and encephalins released by acupuncture give a feeling of inner peace and calmness.
