Your fear of being judged, rejected, and overthinking can be symptoms of anxiety. The head injury that you had in your adolescent period may also be linked to your headaches and memory issues now. Of course, speaking with a mental health professional is the best way to get help, but you also might want to see a neurologist for your head injury.

I am 16 year old boy and having mental and physical weakness in body. I masturbate a daily one time from 8 month. I don't like to talk with people nor even feel like connection with anyone. My sleep cycle is heavily disturbed that's why I sleep in day and awaken all night even though I don't want to do this.
Male | 16
Masturbating daily is normal but feeling weak and disconnected isn't. Lack of energy and disturbed sleep can be linked to many causes, like stress or depression. I recommend talking to someone you trust, like a parent or a school counselor, to get some help and support.

Hi. I suffer from severe OCD, anxiety and depression and I'm on two antidepressants - fluoxetine and mirtazapine. I am wondering about the efficacy of vortioxetine in treating OCD, anxiety and depression and whether replacing mirtazapine with vortioxetine will bring improvement to my mental health. I can't find any information on Google. Both of them are atypical antidepressants. Is vortioxetine superior or inferior to mirtazapine in general? Someone told me that vortioxetine is "very mild" in terms of efficacy. Is that true? Thank you.
Male | 25
Like mirtazapine, vortioxetine is believed to help with anxiety, depression, and OCD. Some trials have shown vortioxetine may be useful for these conditions. However, everyone reacts to drugs differently. Therefore, you must talk to your doctor about any changes in your medication so that they can find something that will work for you.

Insomnia may be the result of stress, anxiety, or even lifestyle problems. A calming pre-bedtime ritual or other relaxing techniques should be established. Stay away from caffeine and electrical devices before sleeping.

I hv stop sizomant after 45 days and facing some withdrawal side effects....withdrawal symptoms means what.. I changed dr..he gave toficalm, arip mt 2, nexito ls, trymptor... Taken 3 days, I m confused....as not getting sleep...and saw in Google arip mt 2 has serious side effects. Can I restart sizomant at half tablet after stopping above medicine
Female | 43
Withdrawal symptoms are the body's reaction to the sudden cessation of the drug. Confusion, insomnia (the inability to sleep), and anxiety are just a few of the usual symptoms. In order to deal with these symptoms, it is very important to gradually taper off the medications than to abruptly stop them. However, using sizomant at a lower dose might also help relieve the withdrawal symptoms, but seek medical advice first.

I am a 27 year old male struggling with severe everyday anxiety for 2 years. My anxiety causes me to have sleepless nights and sometimes it feels like I'm Going to lose my mind or lose control of my entire body.
Male | 27
Anxiety can bring about sleep difficulties and a sense that something awful might happen. This type of disorder is often seen among youth and other causes include stress, genetics among others. To manage this condition one may want to try engaging in exercises such as yoga which helps big time in calming down both our minds and bodies, deep breathing also works well for some people, or even talking to someone about how they feel either friends or therapists can be helpful too.

I am studing but it is not entering my head I am facing it for last 1 month What to do?
Male | 21
If you are feeling tired all the time, running a fever, and experiencing general bodily malaise (like muscle aches), there is a chance that what you have could be caused by some kind of virus such as influenza. The important thing for now is making sure to drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, and take over-the-counter medicines for symptomatic relief. However, should none of these measures work then I would advise seeking further guidance from your doctor or another healthcare professional.

From last few months I'm not sleeping well. Im getting trouble to sleep. I think so much. I'm not getting sleep at night.
Male | 26
You are having insomnia issues. People with insomnia are those who experience difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep. The possibilities are that the discomfort is caused by stress, anxiety, or poor sleep patterns. To enhance your sleep quality, develop a sleeping habit, stay away from caffeine and screens before sleep, and create an atmosphere of relaxation. Should the problem persist, go for a psychiatrist's advice which can be helpful for you.

I do everything but mentally disturbed everytime I get stressed and it's not easy for me to quit the masterbation and porn addiction I am always confused with my inner stuckness like that don't do anything I want concentrate other work but the fear of interaction anxiety I feel alone everytime.
Male | 25
There is a high likelihood of such feelings when stress is the underlying cause and leads to developing habits that seem very tough to break, for instance, the usage of pornography or masturbation. This is indeed a good initial step. To aid you in your stress reduction, you might consider employing some mindfulness techniques, for instance, some easy ones like deep breathing or meditation. Other things like regular physical exercise and the company of social people can be helpful as well. If continued feelings of confusion and anxiety exist, I am advising to consult a healthcare specialist for a collection of personalized services and support.

My sister took 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine together should I take her to hospital
Female | 18
Taking 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine pills together can put your sister in great danger. This mix of medicines may make her very sleepy, confused, and give her a fast heartbeat or even seizures. These drugs can interact badly and harm her body. It is crucial to take her to the hospital right away so doctors can help her feel better and stop serious problems from happening.

Female | 32
Hallucinations can be a sign of many underlying conditions I suggest that you go to psychologist as soon as possible in order to find out the cause of your hallucinations. You need to give thorough medical history to the doctor in order to help with the diagnosis. Do not medicate yourself. Instead, seek professional help.

6 month ago my nervologist appointed me escitalopram 10 mg Now i decrease dosage to 1/4 and symptoms like confusion,dizzines,heaviness and etc comes me back its not hard like 6month ago but still its bad and uncomfortable when will be gone withdrawal symptoms?
Male | 22
You're dealing with withdrawal effects due to lowering your escitalopram dose. Your body got accustomed to a certain amount, so changing it leads to symptoms. Confusion, dizziness, and heaviness may occur when the medicine level drops. The positive side is that these effects typically resolve within weeks without intervention. Try relaxing, sleeping adequately, and consulting your doctor regarding gradually reducing dosage for better symptom management.

Hi doctor my age is 20 I am female I have issues in breathing since my childhood mostly this occurs when I am in stress please provide me solutions how I overcome this
Female | 20
In this case, you might be experiencing asthma, which is the source of your breathing difficulties, especially when you are stressed out or under emotional pressure. Try yoga, stretching exercises, deep breathing techniques, or meditation as a form of relaxation when you notice stress building up. On the other hand, if you see no improvement, report the issue to a psychiatrist to further explore and personalize treatment.

Female | 16
If you are enduring the pain of a headache and overthinking while studying, it is vital to attend to the root issue. I advise you to refer to a neurologist to exclude possible medical problems of headache origin. As well, you can try to get support from the mental health professionals, like psychiatrists, who can show you how to manage your tendency to overthink and develop the necessary discipline and consistency in studies.

Male | 22
I advise against abruptly discontinuing any medication without consulting your doctor, especially when managing anxiety. Abruptly stopping drugs such as Inderal and Escitalopram can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. It is preferable to seek guidance from a psychiatrist or mental health specialist for a proper tapering schedule to minimize potential adverse effects. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and regularly update them about your condition.

As per your complaints you seem to have phobias for needles and sharp objects and excessive cleaning or washing of hands is suggestive of obsessive compulsive disorder, LONAZEP will hardly help, you need to take anti obsessive and medicines for phobias under supervision of a psychiatrist
