Why am I experiencing weakness & disturbed sleep at 16?
I am 16 year old boy and having mental and physical weakness in body. I masturbate a daily one time from 8 month. I don't like to talk with people nor even feel like connection with anyone. My sleep cycle is heavily disturbed that's why I sleep in day and awaken all night even though I don't want to do this.

Masturbating daily is normal but feeling weak and disconnected isn't. Lack of energy and disturbed sleep can be linked to many causes, like stress or depression. I recommend talking to someone you trust, like a parent or a school counselor, to get some help and support.

I have ocd with medicine fluvoxamine 200, Mg aripipirazole 2mg and vortioxetine 20mg and i am not able to concentrate and focus on studies and i also day dreaming while studying and not able to sit for study more than 5 minutes or more than 1 topic please tell me which medicine i should take but my doctor online doc has told to eat modafinil but online research papers said that modafinil increases the symptoms of ocd
Male | 24
Your symptoms may relate to your OCD and medication effects. While Modafinil may help with alertness, research indicates it might exacerbate OCD symptoms for some individuals. I recommend discussing your concerns with your psychiatrist, who can review your medications and possibly adjust them for better efficacy. Additionally, exploring strategies such as brief, focused study sessions or mindfulness techniques might aid your concentration.

Sorry for your loss. Grieving is a challenging and emotional experience, and many people do experience sleep disturbance. Please don't hesitate to seek support of a psychiatrist or a sleep specialist.

I have not depression but it came into my mind 24hrs that I have depression
Female | 22
Depression brings exhaustion, loss of pleasure, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Factors like genetics, life challenges, and imbalances in brain chemistry can contribute to depression. Therapy offers tools, medication stabilizes brain chemistry, and lifestyle changes can help adjust your path. Confiding in trusted individuals and seeking guidance from a psychiatrist are essential steps toward recovery.

OCD or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can take a long time to get better. It's very likely that you can remain on Flunil for a longer time period to gain relief from any remaining symptoms.

You have been under a lot of pressure and are feeling stressed. Being very tired, short-tempered, or feeling a headache can be the symptoms of burnout. Nebulousness claims how harmful burnout can be. Enriching oneself with a plethora of activities can change the quality of your life. Explore the way you feel with someone you can trust.

I’ve been put on 4mg diazepam. Is that okay with 10mg ramipril. I have panic disorder and worry!
Female | 42
You're taking 4mg of diazepam, and 10mg of ramipril for panic disorder. These medicines interact. Diazepam boosts ramipril's effect, causing low blood pressure, and dizziness. They make you drowsier, dizzier, lightheaded. If experiencing these symptoms, consult your healthcare provider about adjusting medications.

Hello, I wanted to know that can we start taking Bedranol a day before any stress inducing event for anxiety relief?
Female | 18
It's good to think about ways to cope with anxiety before something stressful occurs. Bedranol, or propranolol, can help with physical anxiety symptoms like rapid heartbeat and shaking. It's usually taken an hour before stressful situations. However, always consult a psychiatrist before taking new medications. They'll guide you if Bedranol suits your needs, ensuring proper use.

I'm 23 years old and I used to use meth for 3 months now I've been off for 10 days now I've had withdrawals I've had headaches I've had panic attacks I've had anxiety I've had trouble sleeping and all that The biggest problem is in speaking, it is in communication. I work and I have to talk to people. I don't talk to people. What to talk and what to answer this problem is bothering me a lot after meth off
Male | 23
It's great that you've stopped using meth, and it's normal to experience withdrawal symptoms during recovery. The headaches, anxiety, panic attacks, and difficulty communicating are common reactions your body is having as it adjusts. Focus on self-care strategies like maintaining a regular sleep schedule, practicing relaxation techniques, and engaging in light exercise. Speaking with someone you trust can also help ease your communication anxiety. Additionally, consider reaching out to a psychiatrist for personalized support and guidance through this process.

Borderline Personality Disorder and Depression are mental illnesses.. But nothing to worry. Seek professional treatment. Learn coping skills and self-care practices.

Feeling this way is hard. Pain and distress are very tough. But taking unapproved drugs could hurt you. Talk with someone you trust about these feelings. Seek help too from a therapist who can guide you properly.

Im a 15 year old one actually its not a disease or something bt im getting myself weak and scared and my heart beats are getting high its actually the exm results... Cbse class 10 results are on tmrw and im feeling myself loosing the strength
Female | 15
I can understand how waiting for exam scores makes you feel very bad. Your body can get weak, and afraid, and your heart can beat fast when you are anxious. It is just how your body acts when it feels stress. To feel good, try breathing deeply, talk to someone about how you feel, and do things you like. Remember, exam scores do not show who you are as a person.

It is crucial to know that hearing voices may be an indication of different mental disorders including schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and depression. It is recommended that you see a psychiatrist, who deals with mental disorders.

I can't sleep within 3 days
Male | 31
People who are anxious or stressed out by something are more likely to suffer from some common sleep disorders. Drowsiness and inability to concentrate are common signs. To make things better, let's work on your calming-down technique by setting a routine to put yourself at ease before bed, and not using screens before bed so you can be in a state of peace. Being in an ideal environment is also important. If this doesn't help you can visit a therapist.

I have GAD and hypothyroidism. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for 1 year and GAD for almost 5 months and taking meds regularly. But I don't know if I'll recover from this. I'm tired like really tired. Will it ever be fine. Will I ever be fine?
Female | 16
GAD along with underactive thyroid driving can make you very tired. This is because your thyroid becomes stubborn with time which indirectly and gradually drains your energy level. The plus side is that you can get the right treatment and help and be well on your way to recovery. Sticking to your pills, having a good diet, and getting enough rest are essential. The process of healing will allow you over time to get back to being yourself again.

All these could be symptoms of depression, which affects both the body and the mind. You may feel tired all the time, lose interest in things that used to make you happy, or even think about hurting yourself when you are depressed. These emotions should not be kept to oneself and talking to someone such as a counselor or therapist who can offer help through different methods including therapy sessions or medication might be a good start.

Female | 16
If you are unhappy, anxious, or angry most of the time; struggle to focus, or no longer find pleasure in activities you once enjoyed, then it might be helpful for you to know that these are symptoms of a possible mental health problem. If you want to feel better, consider talking it out with someone who you trust – this helps more than keeping everything bottled up inside which only makes matters worse over time. You could also try some relaxation exercises like deep breathing techniques or mindfulness meditation; keeping busy through physical exercises such as jogging or swimming may help too – not forgetting to seek professional help/guidance from a counselor/therapist.

Can i take herbal vitamin b12 supplements while I am taking antidepressents.
Female | 43
Vitamin B12 herbal supplements go great with antidepressants. If B12 is low, feelings might be tired, weak, and dizzy. Antidepressants can make it hard for B12 to absorb properly in the body. A supplement helps keep normal B12 levels. Tell your doctor before starting any new supplement.
