Your history of depression and anxiety may be associated with emotional factors that result in a lump feeling or tightness in the throat, which is sometimes known as the globus sensation. Given that you are suffering from the recurrent symptoms, it is necessary to seek help of a psychiatrist for thorough evaluation of your mental health treatment including the efficacy aspect of Sertraline medication. Managing emotional health is not as easy and at the same time, at times there may be a need to adjust the therapy or any meds for better wellbeing.

Male | 17

It seems like you might be going through depression or anxiety. These factors may impair your capacity to focus and an activity you used to enjoy. I suggest seeking advice from a mental health professional to review your symptoms and to talk about the treatment options. They will work with you to design a plan that fits your needs, so that you can feel better and more active.

I'm struggling to maintain cleanliness and proper hygiene. I'm just not able to do anything, either I want my surroundings to be too clean or very messy. I'm just not able to live anymore. I'm tired of everything. I just don't have any energy left. I was an academically perfect student but now even my grades started falling down.

Female | 17

Well, it seems that you could be having OCD symptoms like failing to keep up with hygiene and cleanliness. I suggest seeing a psychiatrists who works with OCD to discuss your symptoms and consider treatments.

A.o.A i am Nadeem My age is 29 My weight is 78 Status Unmaariade Sir I have anxiety problem since 5 years. I have a lot of fear about my health and high BP۔My health starts to deteriorate around noon۔In which there is headache and heaviness of the head۔I keep checking my bp every now and then which is around 130/100 or 130 /90..

Male | 29

You seem to be having symptoms of anxiety. The feeling of fear, headaches, and the tendency to worry about your health are some of the symptoms of anxiety. Anxious people checking blood pressure regularly is a typical behavior. The anxiety could be the reason for the high blood pressure. For relaxation techniques, exercise, and therapy can be useful.

I am prescribed 0.50 mg of alprazolam as needed. I took my dose and do not feel anything and am still having an anxiety attack. It has been 2 and a half hours since I took that dose. Can I take 0.25 now or is it too dangerous? I have no health issues.

Female | 24

Don't take more medicine without going to a doctor. You may hurt yourself if you do anything harmful. At least attempt to find some other way besides taking so much Xanax all the time because that could end badly too, like speaking halfway or breathing deeply.  If these don't work then going to therapy would be great too.

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.

Male | 34

Losing focus is common and can happen due to pressure, lack of sleep, or distractions around you. If you often feel tired or easily distracted, try getting enough sleep, reducing distractions, and breaking your work into smaller tasks to improve focus.

I’m 24 yr having anxiety and feeling low pls tell how to treat it

Female | 24

Being upset and worried is hard to bear. These emotions are largely due to stress or life changes attributed to many causes. Some of the signs are constant worrying, being afraid, or a disturbed sleep schedule. So, talk to a person, like a friend, or a family member. After that, engaging yourself in activities you prefer and getting enough sleep can help.

i dont eat in the mornings because im not hungry so i eat in the afternoon but i eat a little. and at night i eat a little

Female | 40

Your irregular e­ating habits can negatively impact your well-be­ing. Morning hunger leads to sluggishness and lack of focus. Me­ager afternoon and eve­ning meals deprive your body of vital nutrie­nts. Aim for balanced meals containing fruits, veggie­s, proteins, and carbs throughout the day.

I’ve been taking Cipralex and Fluanxole for a few years and about 5 months before I started having exaggerated startle response (myoclonus and blinking as a reaction to a sudden stimulus). Can it be caused by antidepressants? I’m very scared :(

Female | 27

Various factors can contribute to this reaction, such as stress or underlying medical conditions. If you're concerned, it's important to consult a doctor for accurate evaluation and guidance on your symptoms and medication. Never alter your medication regimen without medical advice.

I visited a psychiatrist and he prescribed me these meds. Daxtin 20mg Daxtin 40mg Fluvoxamine 50mg Etilaam .25mg Explain these medicines from all perspective and help me get a pros and cons list

Male | 21

Here's some brief information about the medicines that your psychiatrist has recommended: 1. Daxtin 20mg and Daxtin 40mg: These are prescribed for depression. These drugs can help increase the serotonin and norepinephrine levels, improving your mood and energy. 2. Fluvoxamine 50mg: It's also great for depression and anxiety. It works better for sleep and decreases the level of anxiety. 3. Etilaam 0.25mg: It cures anxiety and panic attacks. Positive: Such products have the potential to alleviate depression, give you a good night's sleep, and anxiety at a manageable level. 

Negative: It might bring alongside other effects such as vomiting, giddiness, and drowsiness. In other words, these medications are intended to make you feel better, but they can also cause other health problems. Do not stop taking them on your own – always take them as your doctor has prescribed and notify them of any discrepancies in your condition!

My cousin is suffering from schizophrenia. He used to have severe headaches, personality changes and he hear voices. He only use paracetamol for headaches but no cure. Please prescribe me medicine for headache.

Male | 18

It is of no less than significant to note that the problem of headache can be professionally diagnosed not only due to the lack of sleep but also the fact of day-to-day stress, or the emotional malaise. Lymph node noise is one of many common signs occurring both in the relative and a person undergoing the same condition. Schizophrenics may experience headaches. The use of paracetamol won't solve the question as the case is deeper. It's always a good idea to visit a physician to be treated correctly.
