Why am I not feeling caffeine, codeine, or nicotine?
I haven't been feeling the effects of drugs like caffeine, codeine or nicotine for some time now and it's concerning me. I was put onto risperidone and propranolol for seven months before this started happening. Could you help me determine the cause?

I have trouble falling back to sleep when I wake up in middle of the night. What do I do?
Male | 25
One of the reasons that might be causing this is probably stress or anxiety. Although you need to sleep, your mind is busy processing thoughts that have been bothering you. Try relaxation exercises. One example is meditation through deep breathing or exercises to keep your mind off the problem. You can chat with a sleep specialist if this continues.

im concerned about my mental health
Female | 16
If you are unhappy, anxious, or angry most of the time; struggle to focus, or no longer find pleasure in activities you once enjoyed, then it might be helpful for you to know that these are symptoms of a possible mental health problem. If you want to feel better, consider talking it out with someone who you trust – this helps more than keeping everything bottled up inside which only makes matters worse over time. You could also try some relaxation exercises like deep breathing techniques or mindfulness meditation; keeping busy through physical exercises such as jogging or swimming may help too – not forgetting to seek professional help/guidance from a counselor/therapist.

During acute stress situations such as this one it is necessary for the heart to beat fast so as to supply enough oxygen into the muscles thus enabling them carry out their functions effectively.

I'm 18 and my sister is 16 years old. We do sex twice or thrice a week with protection. Will it effect our physical health? I'm very attracted towards my sister.
Male | 18
Engaging in an incestuous relationship with your sister, even with protection, is discouraged and often illegal due to genetic risks, emotional harm, and societal norms. It's important to prioritize everyone's well-being and seek professional help for guidance. Legal consequences may vary depending on your jurisdiction, so it's crucial to consult with legal and mental health experts/ psychiatrist.

Smoking cigarettes has negative effects. You can stop with assistance and commitment. Medicines help make quitting manageable. Smoking harms your lungs, heart, and raises cancer risk.

I can't sleep properly. It's about 2 weeks I am facing this issue.
Female | 26
For the last two weeks, having difficulty getting to sleep or sticking to sleep could be a symptom of insomnia. This can be brought about by stress, worries, or even eating habits. Try setting a bedtime schedule, for example, going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Say no to the stimulant beverage and technology before night's sleep. If this doesn't help, it's best to speak with your doctor.
