Do I have anxiety?
I am a 17 year old female I’m concerned that I may have anxiety
Psychiatrist
Answered on 16th July '24
Worry and fear are big parts of anxiety. It makes you feel very scared or uneasy a lot of the time. You might feel nervous, have trouble sleeping, or get tired easily when you have anxiety. Stress, genes, or changes in your brain can cause anxiety. Take deep breaths, work out, or talk to someone to help with anxiety. If anxiety is still hard, a psychiatrist can teach you ways to feel better.

I have a child who is 10 years of age. I had depression when she was born and still have even today. So I went to notice that my child is also having it and it makes me feel like I have failed her so bad. She would just cry in everything and have a very short temper,that it sometimes hard for her to concentrate. Please I want to help her before it is too late,what is the first step that I can do.is there any over the counter medication that I can get for her
Female | 10
If your kids are crying easily, getting mad quickly, and can’t pay attention, they might have something called “childhood depression.” You did not cause this. It is nobody’s fault. One thing I would do is talk with a therapist/psychiatrist. There might be other ways doctors can think of to help your child and family.

Can i take warm milk at night as I am taking antidepredsants
Female | 43
Drinking warm milk before sleeping is usually okay for people taking antidepressant medicines. Milk has tryptophan, a substance that helps make serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical that aids sleep. However, some individuals may get stomach problems or gas from warm milk. If you don't experience these issues, a glass of warm milk at night is generally fine. Ensure it doesn't interact badly with your medications.

I have an issue where I stand up from getting out of a car outside and I get a like a pressure that starts in my throat and my heart rate increases pretty fast it only lasts a few seconds and it doesn’t happen Everytime mainly when I’m outside I suffer from extreme anxiety and have gas problems And heart related anxiety I have already had a doctor listen to my heart and he said it’s extremely healthy but I’m worried they miss something.

Perhaps you face panic attack signs due to anxiety and stress. When anxious, our bodies can have increased pulse, throat tightness, and gas issues. Take deep breaths, drink water, relax to handle it. Additionally, therapy may help you address your anxiety. Visit a psychiatrist.

My therapist prescribed for me vaincor 5mg (olanzapine) and serotyl 20mg (fluoxetine) and I'm afraid that will make me gain weight. Does this combination makes me gain weight or not??
Female | 17
The presence of Olanzapine and Fluoxetine, the components of Vaincor, may lead to weight gain as one of the possible side effects of their joint treatment. Yet, this may not be the case for everyone. They will want to advise you to consult your psychiatrist or another medical doctor for the full evaluation and the issue of any side effects.

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.

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.

Hi I am 29 years old and a female I have acute insomnia and don’t have the funds to find out which medication can make me sleep, I’ve tried Adco zolpidem (I need to take 3 to sleep, and it doesn’t keep me asleep) and dormonoct and neither have worked. Please advise me on what medication is the strongest and will help me sleep through the night
Female | 29
You're going through ataxic insomnia. Insomnia is the condition of the person who finds it difficult to sleep. It may occur due to stress, worries, or illnesses. Because Adco Zolpidem and Dormonal Act have not worked for you, I would recommend the try of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that the body naturally produces and it is responsible for controlling the daily and monthly rhythms. It is over-the-counter and besides, it might also help you in getting a full night's sleep.

I am using inderal 10mg twice and escitalophram 10 mg daily for anxiety from last 1 year.. Now i am good last time doctor said that we will reduce yout dose and then gradually quit this medication. Now iam far away from city and cannot go there kindly suggest me how to reduce dose
Male | 22
I advise against abruptly discontinuing any medication without consulting your doctor, especially when managing anxiety. Abruptly stopping drugs such as Inderal and Escitalopram can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms. It is preferable to seek guidance from a psychiatrist or mental health specialist for a proper tapering schedule to minimize potential adverse effects. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and regularly update them about your condition.

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.

What would happen if I take 3 yellow betapam pills at once
Female | 19
Taking 3 yellow betapam pills at once is extremely risky. Betapam treats anxiety disorders. But overdosing can induce severe dizziness, excessive sleepiness, and dangerously slowed breathing – a serious overdose situation requiring urgent medical attention. Never exceed your doctor's recommended dosage.

I am 31 years old and I am not sleeping in night in depression
Male | 31
If you're experiencing fatigue, losing interest in activities you once enjoyed, or struggling to concentrate, it may be a sign of depression. Depression can arise for various reasons, such as life challenges or chemical imbalances in the brain. Seeking help by talking to trusted people, exercising, and getting enough rest can be beneficial. If these steps don't help, speaking with a therapist or psychiatrist can be a meaningful start toward overcoming depression.

My doctor changed olanzapine to abilify which I take for bipolar disorder. It is only the second day of the change over and I feel quite anxious. Is this due to withdrawal symptoms from the less olanzapine I'm taking or a side effect of abilify? Will it go away?
Male | 47
Transition periods can be a reason for feeling anxious. Fluctuation in drugs may cause short-lived panic attacks, this may be a result of reducing olanzapine and also starting abilify. Usually, these are transient and will disappear as your body adjusts to the new situation. Be sure to observe your symptoms and let your body get accustomed to the new medication. Even though it is normal, if you continue or become more anxious, talk to your healthcare professional. They can provide you with more support and may change your treatment plan if necessary. You are not the only one in this struggle and a good communication line with your physician is very important.

These are usually the effects of mental disorders, which need to be checked by specialists. It is very important to address this issue with her; thus, I suggest that you go with her to see a psychiatrist, who will perform a thorough assessment and provide the appropriate treatment such as medications and psychological counseling.

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.

BPD is known for its symptoms such as self-injury, unstable emotions, fear of abandonment, and impulsivity. For example, you may feel sad, lose interest in things that previously gave you pleasure, and experience changes in your eating and sleeping habits. Genetic, biological, and environmental factors may be the culprits of both diseases. You should seek the assistance of a psychiatrist or a counselor.

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.

I check doctor he gave me medicine like tablet can be used to treat depressive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

You might be experiencing sleep paralysis. It happens at night when you suddenly wake up and feel unable to move or breathe for a short time. Though it can be scary, it’s usually not serious. It often happens due to stress, lack of sleep, or an irregular sleep schedule. Try to relax before bed, follow a regular sleep routine, and manage stress with techniques like deep breathing or meditation. If it still worries you, you will want to talk to a counselor or psychiatrist for more help.
