This can bring a certain ideological burden to patients. Without reasonable guidance and treatment, it is easy to progress the disease from simple chronic prostatitis to chronic prostatitis combined with depression or anxiety.
A survey shows that patients with chronic prostatitis are significantly more likely to experience psychological disorders than healthy men. Among chronic prostatitis patients in China, about 24% have varying degrees of anxiety symptoms, and 22% have depressive symptoms. The main manifestations of depression are: low emotions, slow thinking, reduced language and movement, and delay. Prior to this, patients often experienced symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, loss of appetite, and low work efficiency. Anxiety, on the other hand, can cause patients to experience unfounded fear and mental tension, become restless and impatient when doing things, tend to think bad things, even sit and lie restlessly during rest, as well as unexplained palpitations, chest tightness, muscle tension, and even pain.

They should not listen to the false propaganda of informal medical institutions. During treatment, one should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and make good psychological adjustments. Family members of patients should also help them understand and treat the disease correctly through methods such as listening, encouragement, and comfort, in order to alleviate their symptoms of depression and anxiety.
