Duration/Prediction
The duration and prognosis of the complaints can vary greatly and depend on the individual psychological stress reaction. The diarrhea can be only a temporary symptom in the acute phase of the stress reaction or it can remain chronic. The psychological stress may subside of its own accord or require psychotherapy.
In these cases, the prognosis depends on the type of psychological stress and the individual response to therapy. Mental illnesses can sometimes take on chronic progressions and wave-like diminishing and increasing again. An estimation of the general duration of the illness is not possible.
Course of disease
The course of the disease is unpredictable and highly dependent on the person affected and the individual case. Mental illnesses and their physical consequences can take many different forms and are therefore difficult to diagnose and treat. Diarrhea can occur both in the acute phase of mental stress as well as in the chronic course.
Even the initiation of psychotherapy is not always accompanied by a continuous improvement of the symptoms, but can be frustrating. Many cases can be brought to a permanent improvement within a few weeks to months, while in other cases the symptoms can often remain chronic. Frequently, a wavy course of psychological complaints with temporary improvements is common.
