It’s important to talk to a specialist like a psychiatrist if you believe you have ADHD. They can properly assess your symptoms and guide you through the right steps for diagnosis and treatment. Even if you’re not comfortable going to your GP, a psychiatrist is the best person to help with ADHD concerns.

I have problems with getting to sleep. But I do shisha and after I do shisha it helps me to sleep, but it's not good for my help what can I do to do away with intial insomnia

Male | 27

Utilizing shisha for sleep isn't recommended at all. In addition, the difficulty of getting sleep is called initial insomnia, and two possible reasons for that may be stress, bad sleep habits, or the use of drugs like shisha. A potentially successful method to deal with the troublesome situation is to establish a bedtime habit that makes you relaxed and quit stimulants, and some consultation with a doctor might be helpful on time.

I'm 23 years old, I'm facing anxiety disorders from past 5 years and taking antidepressants from last 4 years irregularly. But, still i get panic attacks and now the condition is that i feel a high pulse rate and then suddenly my left arm gets numb even somtimes my left leg and shoulder also feels the same and i also feel headache only in left side which is unbearable. What should i do?

Female | 23

The symptoms you're describing could be due to a panic attack, which can sometimes mimic a heart attack. It's important to address this issue promptly. Make sure you take your antidepressants consistently as prescribed and consult a mental health expert for the best way to manage your anxiety. Stress management techniques, like deep breathing exercises, can also help with these symptoms.

Female | 42

As your body normalizes, symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and fatigue can come up. They may range from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on personal factors. The most important thing is to keep yourself hydrated, take a rest, and do light exercises like walking. If these feelings don't go away or become worse, consult a healthcare provider. The doctors can evaluate the situation and give advice on how you can manage these phenomena safely.

Anxiety issue, dizzineaa, palpitation, depression

Female | 28

Anxiety, dizziness, palpitations, and depression can be tough to deal with. You often feel anxious, which makes you worry a lot. Dizziness may feel like you're about to collapse, and palpitations are when your heart beats faster than usual. Depression causes you to feel sad frequently. These feelings can be caused by stress, lack of sleep, or health issues. To get support, try to calm your mind, maintain a regular sleep schedule, share your feelings with someone you trust, and consider therapy or counseling. These steps can help you manage your emotions better.

Hi, I am feeling dizzy and unwell in the night and also making more scary feeling while I close my eyes.

Female | 23

Vertigo has several different reasons for its appearance and it is especially hard to deal with the sleepless nights, dehydration or anxious feelings one has. Close your eyes and let yourself feel the sensations more deeply. To minimize the discomfort, it is advisable to drink enough water and implement breathing practices for tension relief which will help you feel more relaxed. It is in addition very important to keep on a regular schedule of sleep. Nevertheless, if the symptoms remain or become worse, I think it would be a good idea to consult a medical professional for a comprehensive evaluation.

I am 12 years old and i took valerian to sleep and ive been feeling anxious drowsy and been having insomnia ive lost my appetite too please tell me a way how to fix it at home

Male | 12

The use of valerian can lead to side effects such as anxiety, drowsiness, and insomnia. Also, a loss of appetite is a usual issue. To make it easier, drink a lot of water, eat light meals, and engage in calm activities like walking. Being careful not to take any more valerian is important. You will feel better shortly if you rest and take care of yourself.

Schizophrenia from 4 years

Male | 23

Schizophrenia is a brain disorder, due to which individuals may occasionally believe that they can see or hear things that are not there, are unable to control their thoughts and translate them into proper directions, experience paralyzing fear, or believe that other people are planning to harm them. Thus, it might be that their thoughts are disjointed and rather difficult to follow. It is often recognized as associated with confusion. A group of inheritable factors, as well as the influence of the environment, can be held responsible for the development of schizophrenia.

If drink alcohol on dinner party and feel much anxious and feel cant breath and too agitated, what lindo medication can i take to help relax ? Or what should i do if it is intense?

Male | 33

If you get anxious and agitated after drinking alcohol, it is best to stay away from alcohol from now on. But once the symptoms start to be severe like hard breathing, it is important to go to a doctor immediately. Please follow the advice of a licensed therapist or a psychiatrist concerning medication to help with relaxation.
