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.

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.

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 16 years old suffering in this world getting so much difficult for me my boyfriend didi breakup I miss him so much I used to cry all day my headache became more stronger than before I want to overcome form this trauma my life became traumatic
Female | 16
Hormone changes and emotional ups and downs are some of the reasons stress from a breakup can be followed by these symptoms. Firstly, it is very important to share your feelings with someone you can rely on, for example, a family member or friend. Make the most of your time by doing things that you love, meditating, and sleeping. If you are still feeling this way after some time or if they escalate, please, turn to a psychiatrist, who is capable of providing you with the support, that is specifically developed for your needs.

Hi doc. How dangerous is mixing overdose valium 300mg zolpidem 300 dormicum 300 klonpin 60mg with alcohol
Male | 32
A combination of Valium, Zolpidem, Dormicum, Klonopin, and alcohol with an overdose is highly risky. It causes severe bodily damage due to the high doses. Symptoms like lightheadedness, bewilderment, and even coma, may appear as the respiratory rate starts to decrease. This synthesis can be the most harmful since it targets the brain and the heart breathing. If you or another person has overdosed, immediately find someone to lend a hand.

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.

Is exercise good for akathisia caused by ssri meds
Male | 22
Akathisia, the condition characterized by undue restlessness or an uncontrolled compulsion to move the body, even muscle contractions or spasms that may occur, are among the side effects of the intake of SSRIs. A physical regime that is regular will help decrease anxiety and boost the overall health status of an individual. Low-intensity exercises like walking and yoga have the energy to be miracles. However, each case is different from the other, and suggest you take your symptoms and exercise programs to your doctor.

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.

Female | 16
These symptoms can be traces of stress and anxiety too. So, one of the ways to get rid of the pain can be taking actions like exercising deep breathing or practicing mindfulness. Enjoying a hobby, hanging out with friends, or a chat with a trusted person can lead to the improvement of your mood as well. If the feelings or physical signs remain, you should see a doctor who is in a position to create a personal support plan that fits your preferences. Your body will heal in time and it's fine.

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.

My name is Deepali age 22 I have been listening to subliminal since last 4 - 5 days and since yesterday I am having side effects like dizziness brain fog nausea and blur vision can you please suggest what to do ????
Female | 22
It would appear that you have the feeling of an uncomfortable symptom like nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and brain fog. Often this is the result of stress, fatigue, or even your body's reaction to the silent subaudio. The thing is consciously leaving them to have a chance to get relaxation to mind and body is a must. Try to drink water regularly, guarantee that you have enough sleep, and reflect on slow-tempo activities like walking. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend you consult a Psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

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.
