Analysis of the therapeutic effect of Morita therapy on anxiety disorder of art creators

Abstract

BackgroundWhen artistic creators create art, they will suffer from mental anxiety due to the lack of spiritual level. Morita therapy often alleviates the clinical symptoms of anxiety disorder in patients by improving their “neuroticism” personality and urges them to recover their mental health. Therefore, Morita therapy was selected to intervene and treat the anxiety disorder of art creators, so as to improve their social adaptability and mental health.Subjects and MethodsThe study took 78 art creators with anxiety disorders in a hospital since 2000 as subjects. Their anxiety disorders were divided into mental anxiety disorder (A) and somatic anxiety disorder (B). The total course of Morita therapy was 8 weeks, which was randomly divided into two groups, group C and group D. Group C was not intervened, while group D intervened with Morita therapy. Hamilton Anxiety (HAMA) was selected as the research evaluation scale. The experimental results are shown in Table 1.Table 1.HAMA score results of two groups of patients before and after the interventionHAMA total scoreABDCDCDCBefore treatment23.46±4.2121.99±4.2312.26±3.0512.76±2.7211.19±3.459.19±3.01After treatment (2)21.86±3.9920.62±4.0711.22±2.3311.52±2.8210.62±2.919.09±2.94After treatment (4)18.79±3.9217.76±4.389.89±2.559.49±2.858.79±2.108.96±3.38After treatment (6)12.12±2.4814.79±4.097.02±1.929.32±3.055.16±2.345.40±1.68After treatment (8)9.39±2.2910.86±2.684.96±1.875.89±1.574.22±1.564.96±2.15ResultsThe HAMA score after the intervention treatment was significantly lower than that before the intervention treatment, and the patients’ somatic anxiety and mental anxiety were reduced. Compared with group C, the mental anxiety of group D on both sides decreased more significantly, and decreased to 4.96 ± 1.87 in the 8th week after intervention, lower than 5.89 ± 1.57 in group C. To sum up, Morita therapy intervention has effectively alleviated the anxiety of art creators.ConclusionsArtists who live more or less will have mental anxiety. The study used Morita therapy to intervene and treat their anxiety disorder. The results showed that Morita therapy effectively alleviated the mental anxiety of art creators.AcknowledgementsThe research is supported by: National social science fund project “Research on the Protection and Inheritance of Yao’s’ Ancient Legal Drum ‘Traditional Skills” (No. 21BMZ037).
