Answered on 21st Jan '25
Communication struggles can lead to misunderstandings and stress in relationships. It's essential to work towards harmony through professional guidance. I recommend looking for a family therapist who is fluent in Malayalam to ensure your wife feels comfortable expressing her thoughts. This can provide a safe space for both of you to explore feelings and build understanding. You might consider checking local directories or health services for qualified counselors who meet your language needs. Professional support can be a valuable step toward strengthening your bond.

Vyvanse is a pill used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as well as binge eating disorder. Along with this, any type of inaccurate or excessive use of the medication may lead to psychosis among people.

Hi, my name is aiden i am 14 years old and I've been wondering if there something wrong with me when i lay down on my chest i find it a lil hard to breathe sometimes i wonder if its axizety or i might be overthinking but other then that ive been having axizety making it hard for me to sleep and i just feels like my eyes are close but im not getting any sleep what should i do
Male | 14
When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night. You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.

hello! how are you? apparently i woke up today from a nightmare, but problem is that when i woke up there was a severe coldness everywhere in my body and my heartbeat was going 180mph for the past 15 minutes now, that was like 6 hours ago, now i’m doing fine and my heartbeat is now at 86mph and i’m relaxing but i feel like i’m still traumatized haha, should i be concerned tho or is it something normal??
Female | 15
After waking up from a nightmare, feeling uneasy is normal. Your heart rate may increase quickly because your body thinks the danger is near. This reaction, though unsettling, typically subsides as you regain composure. However, if these occurrences persist frequently, discussing them with a psychiatrist would be advisable. Nightmares can sometimes reflect underlying concerns that require attention.

I am 12 years old and i took valerian to sleep and ive been feeling anxious drowsy and been having insomnia ive lost my appetite too please tell me a way how to fix it at home
Male | 12
The use of valerian can lead to side effects such as anxiety, drowsiness, and insomnia. Also, a loss of appetite is a usual issue. To make it easier, drink a lot of water, eat light meals, and engage in calm activities like walking. Being careful not to take any more valerian is important. You will feel better shortly if you rest and take care of yourself.

Coping with the down mood that you do feels like a deep abyss, you are dealing with severe depression. It can be both emotional and physical parts of you, feel like you have lost hope, you are so exhausted that don't want to move, and you don't care about anything anymore. Visiting a psychiatrist and venting can help you feel consoled. It may be suggested that a combination of counseling and drugs would be the right course of action to treat the condition.

15 male.is it okay to enjoy mastrabating in public. I don’t do it in front of people but it’s very arousing. Should i be concerned about this?
Male | 15
Engaging in self-pleasure in public areas is not socially acceptable. This conduct may indicate a psychological condition known as exhibitionism, where one derives arousal from exposing oneself publicly. Comprehending that such behavior is legally prohibited and can result in severe repercussions is crucial. Seeking a psychiatrist is advisable to address these urges and explore healthier coping mechanisms.

I'm 29 and male, i feel mood swings, i wake at midnight then there's no sleep, there's salty sweat and salty saliva, i can't concentrate & forget things immediately, hair loss & weight loss
Male | 29
With your signs of mood changes, severe sleep problems, and physical complications like hair loss and weight loss, you must get medical help in time. I would suggest that you try to consult with a psychiatrist who can establish the proper diagnosis through a comprehensive testing procedure. You should also see an endocrinologist for evaluation of these symptoms that may be due to the hormonal imbalance.

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.

I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.
Male | 21
Often, a constant feeling of tiredness yet not wanting to sleep signals sleep issues or irregular routine. Perhaps insufficient rest or poor sleep patterns occur. Stress, excessive screen time, or inadequate exercise contribute. Establish a regular sleep schedule. Limit caffeine and sugar intake and wind down before bed.

Male | 23
Delusions of people opposing you are troubling. Brain chemical imbalances or past trauma could cause these symptoms. Since psychiatrists and medications haven't helped yet, keep trying different treatments. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, or new medications might be beneficial. Keep seeking help until you find what works best. Supportive, understanding individuals can make a difference too.

Female | 19
It is anxiety that you are facing. This can lead to trembling, palpitation, shortness of breath, and stomach tightness. Try taking deep breaths, talking to someone you trust, and doing activities you enjoy. Drinking water and receiving enough sleep may help, too. It's important to keep reminding yourself that the feelings you have are normal and that the situation may get better eventually.

This is a tough situation with the 14-year-old child you're dealing with. It appears he is suffering from aggressive behavior, outbursts, and a lack of control over his emotions. These symptoms can be caused by various reasons, including emotional distress, underlying mental health issues, or neurological conditions. As he is already seeing a neurologist, it is crucial to maintain communication with the healthcare team to assess and treat the condition properly. Medications may be given to him to help regulate his mood and behavior.

Female | 29
Experiencing symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating can be the usual picture during these times. Very stressful life events, changes in one's life situation, or circumstances that are too much to handle can be some of the reasons behind it. Reducing stress is easy to start with by taking time out to focus on handling what makes you feel unwell. This can be done by following relaxation methods like the abdominal breathing procedure and the inclusion of mindfulness meditation in self-management, performing physical exercise, and keeping healthy sleep patterns. Speaking with a friend, family member, or other loved ones can be highly beneficial, too.

My husband diagnosed with tuberculosis and during his treatment time his behaviour change suddenly, trying to detach from families, n relation , sleep increased during day time. Sometime even telling me to end our relationship
Male | 38
Changes in mood and behavior during tuberculosis treatment can be from various factors, including the illness itself, medication side effects, or psychological stress. Increased sleepiness and withdrawal are not uncommon but can be concerning. Communication is essential here. Gently encourage your husband to express his feelings, and it may also be beneficial to consult with a psychiatrist. They can assess his mental well-being and provide support tailored to his needs.
