Can Panic Attacks Cause Long-Term Erectile Dysfunction?
Hello 2 years ago, I had ED, only sometimes (once or twice a month i used to get very hard errection otherwise it was very very spongy like) - I then had panic attacks diagnosis and started taking serlift and etizom for 5 months now. I noticed my muscles and body is grown and also I get hard errection when i have a strong desire. Sometimes twice a day but when i am sad again, i again have the problem. Is my ed because of this panic attacks? Will it go away automatically forever or can it come back after i stop medicines?

You’ve had a tough time dealing with erectile dysfunction before, and sometimes, medical conditions can be a cause. Feeling down or stressed can also affect your ability to get an erection. The good news is that your current medication seems to be helping. As your mental health improves, your ED might get better as well.

I have taken unwanted 72 pill yesterday. For avoiding unwanted pregnancy I'm patient of depression my antidepressants medicine are lithosun sr, lonazep, olimelt, aripmt . I daily take these antidepressants but yesterday not and till now . Does antidepressants reduce the effectiveness of unwanted 72. Will I get pregnant? I'm worried
Female | 21
In general, the impact of the 72-hour pill on the efficiency of antidepressants is not that significant. If used in the recommended time frame, it is meant to work against getting pregnant. However, skipping your antidepressant doses may lead to your general well-being. Pay attention to any strange signs or emotional changes. If you go through persistent anxiety or if you have other concerns, see your healthcare provider for specifically tailored advice, and they can also help both your mental health and contraceptive requirements.

I have trouble falling back to sleep when I wake up in middle of the night. What do I do?
Male | 25
One of the reasons that might be causing this is probably stress or anxiety. Although you need to sleep, your mind is busy processing thoughts that have been bothering you. Try relaxation exercises. One example is meditation through deep breathing or exercises to keep your mind off the problem. You can chat with a sleep specialist if this continues.

Male | 34
Losing focus is common and can happen due to pressure, lack of sleep, or distractions around you. If you often feel tired or easily distracted, try getting enough sleep, reducing distractions, and breaking your work into smaller tasks to improve focus.

My brother suffer from ocd or schizopherenia his doctor says
Male | 27
He is at risk of developing OCD or schizophrenia. OCD involves unwanted thoughts and fears that lead to repetitive actions, such as excessive cleaning or organizing. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that distorts thoughts, feelings, and behavior, with symptoms like hearing voices or having delusions. Both conditions can be influenced by genetics and environment. OCD is typically treated with therapy and medications, while schizophrenia treatment often includes antipsychotic medications and therapy. It's important to encourage your brother to see his psychiatrist for a check-up and discuss the best treatment options for his symptoms.

I'm 18 and my sister is 16 years old. We do sex twice or thrice a week with protection. Will it effect our physical health? I'm very attracted towards my sister.
Male | 18
Engaging in an incestuous relationship with your sister, even with protection, is discouraged and often illegal due to genetic risks, emotional harm, and societal norms. It's important to prioritize everyone's well-being and seek professional help for guidance. Legal consequences may vary depending on your jurisdiction, so it's crucial to consult with legal and mental health experts/ psychiatrist.

Will stopping this medicine can cause serious side effects or parking son disease
Female | 43
Side effects may arise after stopping the medication suddenly, particularly if it's for a mental disorder such as schizophrenia. The symptoms you are having such as vomiting, irritability, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, and dry mouth may be because of this sudden change. It's necessary to talk to your psychiatrist about this, doing so you'll be able to get rid of them safely. They might recommend decreasing the dose step by step or shifting to another drug to prevent adverse effects.

Schizophrenia from 4 years
Male | 23
Schizophrenia is a brain disorder, due to which individuals may occasionally believe that they can see or hear things that are not there, are unable to control their thoughts and translate them into proper directions, experience paralyzing fear, or believe that other people are planning to harm them. Thus, it might be that their thoughts are disjointed and rather difficult to follow. It is often recognized as associated with confusion. A group of inheritable factors, as well as the influence of the environment, can be held responsible for the development of schizophrenia.

I am prescribed 0.50 mg of alprazolam as needed. I took my dose and do not feel anything and am still having an anxiety attack. It has been 2 and a half hours since I took that dose. Can I take 0.25 now or is it too dangerous? I have no health issues.
Female | 24
Don't take more medicine without going to a doctor. You may hurt yourself if you do anything harmful. At least attempt to find some other way besides taking so much Xanax all the time because that could end badly too, like speaking halfway or breathing deeply. If these don't work then going to therapy would be great too.

I am 15 years old, I drank an energy drink at 4pm with 200mg of caffeine. I have never had an energy drink before, I was normal until now at 9pm and I feel jittery anxious and on edge and my chest kind of hurts but I don’t know if it is just the anxiety or what. Please help me is this normal.
Female | 15
A high-energy beverage containing a lot of caffeine might be responsible for your current state. You know, caffeine can make some people feel nervous and jumpy or even give them a tight chest. The deal is that caffeine is a drug; it stimulates the body. To get well, you need to take water, calm down, and don't touch anything containing caffeine.

Female | 18
During a panic attack, you might feel as if you cannot breathe, have a racing heart, and feel shaky or dizzy. Your body can be in “fight or flight” mode when there is no real danger. You should do breathing exercises or other things that help you relax so these feelings don’t get too intense. Talk with someone you trust and consider talking to a counselor or therapist for more support if necessary.

Mene librium 10 ki 6 tablet li hai abhi
महिला | 30
If you take 6 Librium 10 tablets at once, it is dangerous. Librium is a drug used for treating anxiety which can make you feel sleepy or confused as well as lead to shallow breathing when taken in large amounts. To avoid any negative effects, make sure to take only the dose prescribed by your doctor and contact them immediately if you believe that you have overdosed on this medicine so that they can advise accordingly.

I am 31 year old living alone abroad. I am working here and going through a phase of getting married. I have had previous short term relationships. My fiance is living in India and will be moving with me after marriage. The biggest struggle these days is getting flashbacks of the good days from previous relationships and not liking many things of my Fiance. Since the recent past, I'm having multiple panic attacks and want to cry (somehow not able to cry). Also, I am getting suicidal thoughts which was never the case before. Sometimes I also imagine completely disappearing and start a life somewhere with new Identity and losing all the contacts with family and friends.

I am 23 year old currently working as an assistant Professor, but for past 3years I have developed the habit of talking while sleeping and sometimes I'm shouting out of fear in the night while sleeping this was told by my mother. What is the reason. I want reduce this.
Female | 23
You may have something called sleep talking or night terrors. When one is stressed or anxious, they may talk or shout while normally sleeping. You can try to reduce the stress before going to bed by using some relaxation techniques or maybe even have a quiet bedtime routine. But if that doesn’t work out then I would advise you to see a sleep specialist who will be able to help further.

Female | 24
Your daughter may be experiencing social anxiety. This can show up as trembling, feeling awkward, or avoiding communication, especially with men. Social anxiety is common and can be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
To support her, try to be by her side, offering gentle encouragement to engage in social settings when she feels ready. Breathing exercises may help her relax, and you might consider working with a counselor or psychiatrist.

I am feeling very isolated and alone today. I am feeling that the worl has kicked me out.
Female | 13
These feelings may have various origins, such as stress, experiencing life changes, or lack of social interaction. It's necessary to do the things you like, connect to other people, and try out different hobbies to distinguish them. Physical exercise and the right daily plan can also brighten your day. If these feelings remain, I seriously suggest that you talk to a healthcare professional who can give you their enduring love and encouragement.

You seem to be showing some signs of dissociative identity disorder (DID), which is also called multiple personality disorder. These people might have several identities or alters that influence their behavior and they might not know about it. Usually, it happens due to severe trauma in the past. Therapy – especially cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) – can assist you in comprehending and managing these different personalities for a better life.
