Schizophrenia can cause symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking. The exact causes are complex, often involving genetics and brain chemistry. Treatment typically includes antipsychotic medications, which can help manage symptoms effectively. It's crucial to start with a thorough assessment by a psychiatrist who can recommend the best medication tailored to her needs. In addition to medication, therapy can also provide support.

I am 24 Year old male. Recently my dad passed away. I felt sick one night and went to hospital and they diagnosed me as anxiety disorder. I stopped the medication for one day and feeling fine but just now I’m feeling the symptoms again but I had a few sip of beer beforehand so I’m wondering if I should still take meds to help with my symptoms or I should not take meds? The medication is Ativan
Male | 24
Restlessness, increased heart rate, and trouble with concentration are some of the most common symptoms that anxiety can cause. Alcohol can mix with drugs such as Ativan and the patient might suffer severe side effects. The primary rule is to get advice from your doctor before starting any treatment of any kind, especially after a shot of alcohol. They will provide you with advice that suits you. Apart from that, always put your mental health first, and with the help of a professional, you can learn to handle these emotions.

Female | 15 years
Factors such as stress, changes in routine, or anxiety can contribute to this challenge. Establishing a calming bedtime routine may help, such as reducing screen time before bed and creating a comfortable sleep environment. Techniques like relaxation exercises or mindfulness can also be beneficial. If these strategies don't improve your situation within a few weeks, consider reaching out to a healthcare professional. They can provide further insights and tailored solutions to support your sleep health effectively.

I also do not want to talk anyone which effect my relationships
Female | 24
You sound depressed. Stress can spin up in many ways which include but are not limited to headaches, insomnia, or upset stomach. A potential cause of this health hazard could also be the compulsion of life or extreme pressure at school. Get relaxed by trying different relaxation techniques such as calming, breathing, going around your building, and hanging out with a friend. Unessential as it may seem, these facts with such relevance as eating good food, doing exercise, and sleeping enough are also quite important.

I want to stop antidepressants medicine
Female | 35
Always consult your doctor before stopping antidepressants....Abrupt cessation can cause withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms may include DIZZINESS, nausea, and anxiety....Tapering off slowly is recommended. Your doctor can help you develop a tapering schedule....Stopping abruptly can lead to relapse....Relapse may cause a worsening of symptoms....Withdrawal symptoms can also occur with tapering..But tapering can help minimize the severity of symptoms....Regular monitoring by your doctor is important..........

Male | 27
I get that you're down and having thoughts of harming yourself. That's depression talking. Depression can make you feel super lousy, exhausted, and lose interest in fun stuff. Life events, genes, or brain chemistry issues could cause it. But the great news is depression is treatable. Talking to a psychiatrist, exercising regularly, and taking prescribed meds can help lift your spirits.

Male | 24
Sometimes as a way of managing the condition, you come to the idea of alcohol consumption to enable you to have a good night's sleep. But alcohol can become a habit and become a more serious problem in the long run. Factors such as stress, anxiety, or overconsumption of alcohol, are the usual suspects of sleep problems and irritability. Besides, to avoid sleep disorders, you can reduce alcohol intake and apply meditation before bed. Another effective approach is physical activity and sleeping at fixed times. If your sleep disturbances continue, do not hesitate to report them to a specialist who will examine you properly and offer you the best treatment.

How to come out from break up depression?
Female | 15
Breakups can leave one feeling blue. You might feel glum, alone, or unenthused with pastimes you formerly savored. Such emotions are normal after a split. To work through it, try confiding in someone you trust, pursuing beloved hobbies, and caring for yourself via nourishing meals and ample slumber. Healing takes time, so go easy on yourself. You can also visit a psychiatrist.

I am a 17 year old female I’m concerned that I may have anxiety
Female | 16
Worry and fear are big parts of anxiety. It makes you feel very scared or uneasy a lot of the time. You might feel nervous, have trouble sleeping, or get tired easily when you have anxiety. Stress, genes, or changes in your brain can cause anxiety. Take deep breaths, work out, or talk to someone to help with anxiety. If anxiety is still hard, a psychiatrist can teach you ways to feel better.

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.

Female | 55
Feeling sad constantly and having flashbacks of the bad times is not easy. This could be a sign that one is suffering from depression. The inability to sleep well and concentrate are also widespread symptoms of depression. Knowing that one is not alone and that there is help is vital. You can manage these emotions by therapy or taking drugs. Speaking to a mental health professional will help you know what to do.

It seems like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, which can cause rapid heartbeats, shaking, restlessness, and a sense of losing control. These feelings are common during emotional stress. However, it’s important to visit a psychiatrist who can guide you with the right treatment and support.

It is possible that sweating contributes to the discomfort, and any medications may interact with each other. The adverted drug might also negatively affect the efficiency of other medications that you are taking. It is vital to communicate with a doctor.

Female | 25
It sounds like you're experiencing a difficult emotional state, which can sometimes manifest as a lack of interest in relationships or feelings of connection. Various factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, or even hormonal changes, can contribute to this. It’s important to engage in self-care, such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle and reaching out to supportive friends or family. I encourage you to consider speaking with a psychiatrist, who can help identify the underlying causes and provide tailored support.

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.
