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.

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!

15 male.is it okay to enjoy mastrabating in public. I don’t do it in front of people but it’s very arousing. Should i be concerned about this?
Male | 15
Engaging in self-pleasure in public areas is not socially acceptable. This conduct may indicate a psychological condition known as exhibitionism, where one derives arousal from exposing oneself publicly. Comprehending that such behavior is legally prohibited and can result in severe repercussions is crucial. Seeking a psychiatrist is advisable to address these urges and explore healthier coping mechanisms.

Mene librium 10 ki 6 tablet li hai abhi
महिला | 30
If you take 6 Librium 10 tablets at once, it is dangerous. Librium is a drug used for treating anxiety which can make you feel sleepy or confused as well as lead to shallow breathing when taken in large amounts. To avoid any negative effects, make sure to take only the dose prescribed by your doctor and contact them immediately if you believe that you have overdosed on this medicine so that they can advise accordingly.

Male | 27
I get that you're down and having thoughts of harming yourself. That's depression talking. Depression can make you feel super lousy, exhausted, and lose interest in fun stuff. Life events, genes, or brain chemistry issues could cause it. But the great news is depression is treatable. Talking to a psychiatrist, exercising regularly, and taking prescribed meds can help lift your spirits.

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.

I take aripiprazole for an episode of psychosis, can I take Yohimbine 5mg while on aripiprazole? Thank you
Male | 32
You did right checking before taking new meds. Aripiprazole treats psychosis; Yohimbine is for other issues. Together, they can interact badly, causing racing heart, high blood pressure, and anxiety. Talk to your psychiatrist before adding Yohimbine. It may not be safe with your meds. Best to avoid Yohimbine until your doctor clears it.

I am suffering from OCD from last five years and I changed doctor, medicine everything but I didn't see any difference yet now I got very depressed and my anxiety level increases day by day so what is the solution?
Female | 17
OCD, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, can be very challenging to manage. It often causes anxiety and makes it hard to make decisions, disrupting daily life. While changing doctors and medications can help, open communication with your current doctor is essential. Be honest about trying new treatment approaches; they may suggest options like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which has proven effective in managing OCD symptoms. Many people have faced similar struggles and learned to live with OCD, so remember, it is possible to cope. If you need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your psychiatrist.

I am 23 year old currently working as an assistant Professor, but for past 3years I have developed the habit of talking while sleeping and sometimes I'm shouting out of fear in the night while sleeping this was told by my mother. What is the reason. I want reduce this.
Female | 23
You may have something called sleep talking or night terrors. When one is stressed or anxious, they may talk or shout while normally sleeping. You can try to reduce the stress before going to bed by using some relaxation techniques or maybe even have a quiet bedtime routine. But if that doesn’t work out then I would advise you to see a sleep specialist who will be able to help further.

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.

I am 31 year old living alone abroad. I am working here and going through a phase of getting married. I have had previous short term relationships. My fiance is living in India and will be moving with me after marriage. The biggest struggle these days is getting flashbacks of the good days from previous relationships and not liking many things of my Fiance. Since the recent past, I'm having multiple panic attacks and want to cry (somehow not able to cry). Also, I am getting suicidal thoughts which was never the case before. Sometimes I also imagine completely disappearing and start a life somewhere with new Identity and losing all the contacts with family and friends.

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.

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.
