- unexplained heightened anxiety, either constant or in specific situations or around a specific topic;
- sleep problems;
- panic attacks;
- specific phobias (animals, natural environment, blood-injection-injury, situational);
- social anxiety (situations involving scrutiny, others' expectations, or humiliation).

- a sense that life has no meaning;
- persistently low mood without apparent cause;
- persistently reduced physical and cognitive activity, low energy, without apparent cause;
- feelings of worthlessness, excessive or unfounded guilt;
- reduced interest and pleasure in all or almost all activities;
- emotional burnout;
- persistently reduced concentration, indecisiveness.

- reduced control over content consumption (television, streaming platforms, social media, messengers, news sites);
- reduced control over eating or drinking (excluding alcoholism and eating disorders);
- reduced control over masturbation and consumption of erotic or pornographic content.

Psychological interventions for these symptoms are carried out alongside or after a general medical examination (sometimes including a psychiatric consultation) and after ruling out medical causes of the physical problems and other etiologies.

- excessive thoughts, feelings, or worry about physical symptoms — regardless of whether the client has a physical illness.

Worth noting. Modern pop psychology has done a great deal to find psychological causes for virtually any somatic problem. In today's science, there is not enough data for such sweeping generalizations.

- difficulty with assertive behavior: standing up for your rights without infringing on the rights of others; defending your boundaries;
