To regain concentration and confidence, it is vital to adopt healthy ways of life such as eating nutritious food, getting enough sleep, and regular exercise. Besides that, being taught some mindfulness skills including meditation and deep breathing can also be useful. If symptoms remain unresolved, guidance from a psychiatrist will be required.

I m suffering from something loss of interest irritability behaviour and day by day become too much agressive in every small things..why these all things are happening?
Female | 29
You might be facing symptoms of depression. Depression can cause a person to remove their passion for things they loved before, be easily annoyed, and become more short-tempered. This might have resulted from a chemical imbalance in your brain or a stressful situation. It is important to share your thoughts and feelings with someone you confide in or a psychiatrist to get the support you need.

Female | 30
It is okay to feel shy and stressed at times. Many people face this. It can feel hard to be with others. You might feel nervous, shy, or scared. But, you are not alone in this. Try taking small steps. You could join a club or talk to someone you trust. Taking deep breaths and learning to relax can also help lower stress. Move at your own pace. Take it slow.

I Am 27 Years Old Is My Attitude
Male | 27
Attitude can be influenced by various factors, including stress, environment, and personal experiences. If you’re experiencing persistent sadness, irritability, or mood swings, it may be helpful to explore these feelings more deeply. Techniques like mindfulness, regular exercise, and social support can improve emotional well-being. However, if these feelings interfere with daily life, seeking guidance from a psychiatrist can be beneficial. They can provide tailored strategies and support.

Feeling mentally overwhelmed and stuck in repetitive patterns for an extended period can be a sign of anxiety. This may lead to symptoms like restlessness, sleep disturbances, and heightened alertness. The causes of anxiety can vary, ranging from stress and genetics to imbalances in brain chemicals. To manage these feelings, practicing mindfulness, exercising, and talking to someone can significantly improve your well-being.

You consumed too many codeine and cyclizine tablets. These can hurt you badly. Sleepiness and slowed breathing are risks. Dizziness, confusion, feeling sick may occur. It's crucial to reach out immediately if experiencing such symptoms. Call emergency services right away.

Taking several drugs together can involve serious risks. Those medications can have critical impacts on your physique as they interact. Some signs you might face are dizziness, confusion, slow breathing, and even blacking out. It is important to get help right away by either calling the emergency services or going to the nearest hospital. The medications are mixed, and they can be life-threatening.

Porn addiction is problem
Male | 45
It is when a person feels that they are addicted to pornography and they are not able to control them to stop watching it. Some of the symptoms include excessive or inappropriate viewing of adult films online, feelings of shame due to it, and having forgotten family obligations. It can result from stress, curiosity, and prior events. However, you can try to talk to someone you trust, set limits, find new pastimes, or see a therapist.

Insomnia causes difficulty sleeping. Stress, worries, caffeine late in the day could disturb your rest. Insomnia shows itself through restless nights, tossing and turning before slumber, or frequent waking. Develop a calming routine before hitting the sheets. Avoid those bright screens too.

Female | 22
Experiencing difficulty with sleep can be quite challenging, especially when stress levels are high. Common symptoms often include fatigue, irritability, and trouble concentrating. Stress can stem from various sources such as work, relationships, or life changes. To improve your situation, consider incorporating relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or gentle exercise into your daily routine. Establishing a consistent sleep schedule and creating a calming bedtime environment can also be beneficial. If these strategies don’t bring relief, I encourage you to consult a Psychiatrist for personalized support.

I’m taking Effexor and am having troubles sexually and skip my doses 2-3 days in advance but have nausea, dizziness and diarrhea. Is there a way to combat that without changing meds or adding anything? Can I use anti diarrhea pills or something?
Male | 37
If Effexor is missed, some withdrawal symptoms can set in like nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea. To mitigate these issues, the drug should be taken consistently. Even though over-the-counter anti-diarrhea medication can provide short-term relief, the best way to deal with the problem is by adhering to the prescription. If you are still worried, it’s advisable to seek further advice from a psychiatrist.

I am unable to sleep since last few weeks
Male | 38
The trouble of late with a rest condition can hardly be seen due to feeling concerned. One of the most common side effects is having difficulty falling asleep or waking up frequently during the night, which then leads to fatigue during the day. A multitude of things, such as anxiety, lifestyle choices, or even health concerns existing underneath the condition is being the causes of these symptoms. It would be beneficial to try the following to help relieve the situation: implementing a consistent and relaxing nighttime routine, staying away from screens while you're about to sleep, and creating a cozy sleep space.
