How can I help my sister with auditory hallucinations?
Hello. I am a doctor myself. I write to seek help about my sister. 34 years old, married and living with husband with my mother, having constant auditory hallucinations since 2014, took antipsychotics, was not open to CBT, there is no improvement, rather weight gain and more depression. She has had a bunch of traumatic events since childhood and all her past villains (teacher who locked her in school at age 7 in the dark till 8PM) (an on and off absent father and his brothers) (ex husband) and God knows who, are the ones who are prompting fearful instigations in her causing her to behave erratically, fear of brainmapping and planning to kill and harm her body after mom is no more, all of this in her auditory hallucinations. There is constant crying out of unrealistic fear. What I hoped to seek from you is if you can manage to clinically hypnotise her, reach into every fear she has and nullify them at subconscious level, giving her a feel to look forward to a positive purposeful life ahead. Most other hypnotists are using Hinduism and past life karma concepts, my mother is not comfortable with it, we are moslems. Sister is on medications, prescribed by Manasa Mind Clinic but mother has to slip into some drink she refuses to take if she is told what it is for.. I would really like to discuss more if you have time, before i make an appointment for her.

It seems that your sister is really disturbed by her hallucinations caused by auditory perception and old psychological trauma. These symptoms may come from such terrible things she has faced and factors that emphasize her experience. Hypnosis requires a holistic approach; thus, I advocate her healing through the system. I endorse that you think of obtaining a multidisciplinary consultation by a psychiatrist for medication management and a psychologist for trauma-informed therapy. Like we have mentioned before, her therapist could offer her a space to endorse her beliefs while implementing the new ways of coping. Getting the help of the mental health professionals is the key; therefore, you need to consult a healthcare provider that can give her the right direction for her health.

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.

I am feeling depressed and a couple of fears and anxiety
Male | 25
Depression leaves feelings hard. Anxiety builds fear. Tough times come. Not sleeping well happens. You feel worried, scared, sad. It can feel overwhelming. What causes these? Stress plays a role. Brain chemical imbalances occur too. But solutions exist like seeing psychiatrists for help. Using relaxing methods helps.

I had drug induced psychosis how can I know if it’s only drug induced psychosis or if it’s like schizophrenia or something
Male | 22
A psychiatrist’s consult needs to make a determination whether your psychosis is substance abused induced or if it may signify a more serious mental illness, like schizophrenia. A psychiatrist can conduct a comprehensive assessment and steer you in the right direction for treatment. I suggest that you see a psychiatrist who specializes in psychotic disorders.

Doctor mujhe 2 mahine se nind na ane ki problem hogayi hai usk liye mai kya karu kya exercise se nind ki bimari khatam ho sakti hai aap mujhe salah de sakte hai
Female | 21
You mentioned trouble sleeping for 2 months. That's a long time - insomnia can feel exhausting. Many factors like stress, anxiety, and poor habits contribute. Simple exercises like deep breaths or light yoga before bed may improve sleep quality. Avoiding screens close to bedtime and maintaining a routine sleep schedule are also beneficial. However, if difficulties persist despite these efforts, seeking medical advice is recommended.

I am 46 and have depression. I need sessions of deep transmagnetic stimulation. How much cost? Can I come tomorrow?
Female | 46
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a treatment for depression that is safe. Costs may differ from one clinic to another, but luckily, some insurance that partner with the clinics offers the treatment. It's smart to check it with the clinic. These may be found in depression itself, such as low moods, loss of interest, and unusual changes in appetite and sleep. TMS is a way of stimulating the brain by sending magnetic pulses. Naturally, it is required to fix a meeting for TMS during which you are free so that we can talk during that time, but we can shift your appointment for you as soon as it is convenient.

My brother started smoking heroine and it has been over 6 months now. He wants to quit and made a few attempts but the withdrawals and lack of will power is not allowing him. He started taking buprex as medication to combat the withdrawals. What would be best course of action for him?
Male | 21
Quitting heroin can be extremely challenging, especially without proper support and guidance. Buprex can help manage withdrawal symptoms, but he needs to undergo a structured detox program and receive counseling to address the underlying issues contributing to his addiction. Your brother should consult a psychiatrist or a qualified addiction specialist for personalized treatment and support.

Male | 19
Daxid 50 mg could influence sexual hormones in certain individuals. They may experience symptoms such as changes in libido or trouble getting aroused. This could be because some drugs interfere with the body’s hormone levels. If you notice these changes, discuss them with your doctor. They can find a remedy for this issue or change your medication if necessary. Pay attention to how you feel and if anything seems wrong, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.

Male | 31
You might be experiencing a condition called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) which is related to your cleanliness and fear of contamination. It is characterized by unreasonable anxiety and the necessity to wash your hands or clean objects several times. This may be a result of a mix of hereditary, brain, and environmental factors. Treatment may include therapy and medication which are prescribed by a psychiatrist.

Meri beti kuch sochti h to uske sir m drd hota h fever aa jata h kya ye DEEPRATION h
Female | 31
Headaches & fever in your daughter could be due to physical illness, tension, stress, or anxiety. Depression also causes headaches and fever, but it's usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as low mood, disrupted sleep, loss of interest, and other physical and mental signs. Consult your nearest doctor for evaluation.

Male | 49
These symptoms can be the result of chemical overload in the brain. The medication (etolozom. 25 tablets) prescribed to you might not be sufficient to improve concerns. You must talk to your doctor about other possible approaches or changes to your medication so that you can achieve better health.

I have ommetaphobia. How I can overcome my phobia
Female | 23
There's a fear called ommetaphobia; it's being scared of eyes. Someone with this phobia might feel anxious, afraid, or ill when seeing eyes. An unpleasant experience or simply discomfort with eyes could cause this fear. To overcome it, try talking to a psychiatrist about your feelings. Practice relaxing techniques like deep breathing. Slowly expose yourself to situations involving eyes.

How can you quit smoking permanently with the help of medicine
Female | 22
Smoking cigarettes has negative effects. You can stop with assistance and commitment. Medicines help make quitting manageable. Smoking harms your lungs, heart, and raises cancer risk. Nicotine patches or gum reduce cravings, fight withdrawal. Stick with prescribed dosages. Support from loved ones strengthens determination. It's difficult, but achievable with perseverance and help.

Male | 59
When we were kids, our brains were still growing and trying to make sense of the world around us. Being curious is fine- it’s part of growing up to think about different things or have new feelings. Reflecting on life might raise some questions for us. If these memories bother you, talking with a psychiatrist can help.

my mom is sick and very cold skin she is talking in her sleep to her dead mother and mumbling her teeth are clinking fast she can’t even eat
Female | 55
It seems that your mother is showing signs of a severe condition called sepsis. This occurs when the body overreacts to an infection and causes harm. The cold skin, rapid teeth chattering, and speaking with her deceased mother could indicate that she is extremely ill. Immediate medical attention is necessary to help her body fight off the infection and recover.

Male | 35
It's important to understand that schizophrenia is a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment. If you're experiencing excessive sexual desire, it may be a side effect of your medications or related to the condition itself. I strongly advise you to consult a psychiatrist who can adjust your treatment plan or provide guidance on managing these symptoms effectively.

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.
