Consuming explicit content can influence mental well-being. Prolonged exposure may lead to desensitization, unrealistic expectations of relationships, and can impact focus and emotional health. Watching such material consistently, like nightly for a week, can increase anxiety and alter perceptions of intimacy. Recovery varies, often requiring behavioral changes and time away from such content to regain a balanced mindset. Engaging with romantic or sexually explicit media, including wedding videos, can also influence thoughts and emotions. It’s important to reflect on your choices and discuss concerns with a psychiatrist to navigate feelings and maintain mental health.

You are going through a stressful period that seems to be the cause of the insomnia and physical pain that you are experiencing. Stress can be the reason for these symptoms such as sleeping problems and bodily pains. You may try deep breathing and easy exercises to relax.

Do you practice emdr or neurofeedback therapy for your patients who are suffering from psychological trauma?
Female | 40
EMDR helps process trauma memories, while neurofeedback teaches the brain to calm itself. Both treatments can help, but it's wise to consult a psychiatrist first. That way, you can find the right therapy approach suited for your unique problem.

Can I take my xanax and drink orange juice?
Female | 71
To get the Xanax to work effectively, don't take it with orange juice. Xanax is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. Mixing it with orange juice makes your body absorb Xanax less well because the juice's acidity interferes with this process.

I have difficulty falling asleep from few weeks i close my eyes but i cant sleep
Female | 15
This can be due to various factors, including stress, anxiety, or changes in routine. It often leads to fatigue and irritability, which can impact daily life. To improve your situation, could you set up a calming bedtime routine, limit screen time before sleeping, and ensure your sleeping environment is comfortable and dark. Regular physical activity can also promote better rest. However, if these strategies do not help, speaking with a healthcare professional would be best.

Hi I’ve been waking up at the same time every day for two weeks and every day I wake up either crying moving things around my room or having sleep pralysis I’ve suffered with this before but haven’t had it in ages
Female | 18
Sleep paralysis is a sleep disorder that makes you feel stuck. Your brain wakes up, but your body doesn't. This causes temporary paralysis which can be scary. You might feel afraid or confused. Seeing things move or crying are part of this experience. To reduce sleep paralysis, have a regular sleep routine. Go to bed at the same time each night. Avoid screens before bed. If it keeps happening, talk to a sleep specialist. They can guide you on what to do.

I am 24 year old i am overthinking last 4 years nahi merko nind aati hai subha bhi nahi aati jaise ankh band karta dimag mein kuch na kuch chalta rehta alcohol drink karta hoon toh jayada karunga tab nind aati hai bina piye jab kam drink karunga nind nahi aati
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.

Male | 42
Recognizing responsibility can be the first step toward meaningful change. Consider breaking down your goals into small, manageable tasks, focusing on your child's well-being first. Establishing a routine can provide both structure and stability. Seeking support from a counselor or therapist might help address feelings of loss and guide you in your journey toward personal growth and career planning. Remember, it's never too late to seek help. A psychiatrist can offer tailored advice to support your emotional and mental health.

My son aged 25 was learnt to be under your treatment.I neither know for what illness nor have his prescription.He is aggressive and wouldn't co-operate if I call him for consultation with you along with me and his mom although he said to have consulted you.The boy is confined to his room and is hostile towards me for reasons unbelievable.His mother, my wife was under Dr vijayakumar's treatment from 2000 for over a period of 10 years.Now she consults another psychiatrist as she was on a transferable job. I am 62 years old and my wife 56 years.She had taken VRS from Bank job six months ago. My son is only child and a pampered one.His behaviour isn't acceptable although he would appear normal. I am worried how I could manage to give him treatment through you as he is aggressive and may also leave home
Male | 25
Aggression and hostility may be symptoms of other problems such as anxiety or depression. It is very important to handle the situation with empathy and patience. Supporting him through the process like by advising him to reach out to a psychiatrist, can be helpful. The main approach to the matter is to allow him to freely express what he feels, thus he will be able to share his issues.

Male | Ajay Kumar
Bipolar disorder therapies sometimes have side effects like erection problems which are quite common. Symptoms might consist of difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. This is mainly due to some medicines that interfere with the hormones or the blood circulation. It is important to have a discussion with your psychiatrist regarding this problem. Your doctor may modify or suggest alternative treatments to cope with this issue.

Hello i need to ask about PEth test. This month i have been drunk 3 times. How long do i have to wait in order to pass a PEth test? Also i have been drinking quite heavily in all these 3 times. 2 weeks sober in between the drinking occasions.
Male | 25
The PEth test looks for alcohol in your blood over a long time, not just one day like other blood tests. It is very important to drink lots of water, eat good food, and not drink any alcohol to help your body get better. It's a challenging process, but staying sober and taking good care of yourself can help lower your PEth levels more quickly.

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.

You seem to have some symptoms associated with a mixture of anxiety, insomnia, headaches, chest pain, and depression. Stress, worry, and feeling overwhelmed are likely to be the causes of these symptoms. Try to practice relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, gentle exercises, and talking to a psychiatrist.

I am a 27 year old male struggling with severe everyday anxiety for 2 years. My anxiety causes me to have sleepless nights and sometimes it feels like I'm Going to lose my mind or lose control of my entire body.
Male | 27
High levels of anxiety can interfere with your sleep and make things seem very scary. It's normal to have racing thoughts, restlessness, and physical symptoms such as sweating or shaking. This comes from a mix of genetics, brain chemistry, and the things you've been through. Speaking with a psychitrist is the best way to manage anxiety through therapy or medication.

Male | 34
Anxiety, depression, and stress make life difficult. Feeling worried, sad, overwhelmed - it's common but important to take care. Doctors prescribe antidepressants, and anti-anxiety medicines; they assist. Talking helps too; chat with someone you trust or a therapist. Self-care matters; be kind to yourself.

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.
