When a person has schizophrenia, he/she can undergo experiences like hearing voices or having strange beliefs. The causes might be; their own to the genes and/or the surrounding factors that affect people. Therapy and medicine can be used to help people control their symptoms as well as make their lives better. Speak frankly to a doctor or therapist to get help.

Actually I am unable to sleep properly. Maybe after 4-5 sleepless nights, I can sleep a night properly. When I close my eyes, I listen to some noises which don’t have any source actually. Maybe I am facing hallucination
Female | 23
These symptoms may result from different disease such as sleep apnea, anxiety disorders or schizophrenia. I suggest you see a sleep expert or a psychiatrist to get a proper diagnosis and a treatment.

My husband diagnosed with tuberculosis and during his treatment time his behaviour change suddenly, trying to detach from families, n relation , sleep increased during day time. Sometime even telling me to end our relationship
Male | 38
Changes in mood and behavior during tuberculosis treatment can be from various factors, including the illness itself, medication side effects, or psychological stress. Increased sleepiness and withdrawal are not uncommon but can be concerning. Communication is essential here. Gently encourage your husband to express his feelings, and it may also be beneficial to consult with a psychiatrist. They can assess his mental well-being and provide support tailored to his needs.

Hello. I am a doctor myself. I write to seek help about my sister. 34 years old, married and living with husband with my mother, having constant auditory hallucinations since 2014, took antipsychotics, was not open to CBT, there is no improvement, rather weight gain and more depression. She has had a bunch of traumatic events since childhood and all her past villains (teacher who locked her in school at age 7 in the dark till 8PM) (an on and off absent father and his brothers) (ex husband) and God knows who, are the ones who are prompting fearful instigations in her causing her to behave erratically, fear of brainmapping and planning to kill and harm her body after mom is no more, all of this in her auditory hallucinations. There is constant crying out of unrealistic fear. What I hoped to seek from you is if you can manage to clinically hypnotise her, reach into every fear she has and nullify them at subconscious level, giving her a feel to look forward to a positive purposeful life ahead. Most other hypnotists are using Hinduism and past life karma concepts, my mother is not comfortable with it, we are moslems. Sister is on medications, prescribed by Manasa Mind Clinic but mother has to slip into some drink she refuses to take if she is told what it is for.. I would really like to discuss more if you have time, before i make an appointment for her.
Female | 34
It seems that your sister is really disturbed by her hallucinations caused by auditory perception and old psychological trauma. These symptoms may come from such terrible things she has faced and factors that emphasize her experience. Hypnosis requires a holistic approach; thus, I advocate her healing through the system. I endorse that you think of obtaining a multidisciplinary consultation by a psychiatrist for medication management and a psychologist for trauma-informed therapy. Like we have mentioned before, her therapist could offer her a space to endorse her beliefs while implementing the new ways of coping. Getting the help of the mental health professionals is the key; therefore, you need to consult a healthcare provider that can give her the right direction for her health.

I am 24 Year old male. Recently my dad passed away. I felt sick one night and went to hospital and they diagnosed me as anxiety disorder. I stopped the medication for one day and feeling fine but just now I’m feeling the symptoms again but I had a few sip of beer beforehand so I’m wondering if I should still take meds to help with my symptoms or I should not take meds? The medication is Ativan
Male | 24
Restlessness, increased heart rate, and trouble with concentration are some of the most common symptoms that anxiety can cause. Alcohol can mix with drugs such as Ativan and the patient might suffer severe side effects. The primary rule is to get advice from your doctor before starting any treatment of any kind, especially after a shot of alcohol. They will provide you with advice that suits you. Apart from that, always put your mental health first, and with the help of a professional, you can learn to handle these emotions.

The tension can lower energy levels leading to tiredness. Factors such as poor nutrition, dehydration, or lack of sleep, might also cause it. I suggest having a balanced diet filled with vitamins and minerals, drinking enough water, and making sure you sleep well with proper rest. Doing some light exercise can also give the energy you need. In the event of persistent fatigue, it is necessary to go back to the healthcare provider and say what evaluations or treatments may be made.

Symptoms include low mood, loss of interest, changes in appetite or sleep, and fatigue. It may result from genetics, brain chemistry, or life events. Fortunately, it's treatable with therapy or medication. You should visit a psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment.

Aisa craving hona sakta hai aapko jise "pica" kehte hain, jismein log ajeeb cheezein khaane ki ichha mehsoos karte hain. Yeh aksar nutritional deficiencies, stress ya anxiety se bhara hota hai. Sabse pehle, apne khorak par dhyan de, shamil karein nutrients jise iron aur zinc. Aur agar yeh cravings barh jaati hain ya aapko koi samasya mehsoos hoti hai, toh ek doctor se sampark karna behtar rahega. Aapki sehat sabse pehle aati hai, aur ek healthcare professional aapko bhehtar samadhan de sakta hai. Apne aap ka khayal rakhein!

Male | 24
Based on what you’ve said, your weight loss, sadness, tenseness, and nervousness could be symptoms of chronic stress. When we experience stress for a long time, it affects our minds and our body. You should try to take it easy and find some ways to cope with stress — for example, deep breathing exercises, confiding in a friend, or doing something fun. If things don’t get better, think about talking to a psychiatrist or counselor.

I'm 21 years old and I feel so low and sometimes I feel very stressed and after stressing about thing I fell difficulty in sleeping I did a online depression test and it shows like I have high depression
Female | 21
Being sad and stressed out at your age is a hard situation, but you're not the only one feeling that way. Being sad, nervous, tired, and having difficulty sleeping are among the indicators of depression. Tension can make these experiences even more burdensome. Possible reasons for this could be genes, stress, or life events. Things that can help you improve your mood are talking to a psychiatrist, playing sports, and spending your free time with activities that make you happy.

I feel like something is wrong with me , my mind wanders a lot and when it wanders i feel like i need to move and run and i do it unconsciously its like you run and jump in a dancing kind of way with your head leaning to oneside , can you tell me whats wrong ?
Female | 19
You may have a condition called restless legs syndrome (RLS). RLS sometimes makes you feel your body is moving and dancing with no control, especially when you daydream. Such an issue could arise, and the suer will feel that their legs or other body parts should always be in motion. RLS can happen if you have a low iron level issue, but it can be one of the symptoms of other medical conditions, so it is advisable to see a psychiatrist to get the correct diagnosis and prescription.

Female | 19
It is anxiety that you are facing. This can lead to trembling, palpitation, shortness of breath, and stomach tightness. Try taking deep breaths, talking to someone you trust, and doing activities you enjoy. Drinking water and receiving enough sleep may help, too. It's important to keep reminding yourself that the feelings you have are normal and that the situation may get better eventually.

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.

It's important to address your sleep and mental health concerns with a specialist like a psychiatrist. They can offer guidance and recommend suitable treatments, which may include therapies or medications tailored to your specific needs. Seeking professional help is key to managing sleep disturbances and emotional challenges effectively.

I have ocd and I take 100mg of sertraline in the morning and 0.5 mg of clonazepam at night but now I am having difficulty in sleeping at night so can I take 1mg of clonazepam at night, please suggest me.
Male | 30
Poor quality rest might be responsible for experiencing the problem of sleeping. This means that you should be extra careful when attempting to change medications. Clonazepam results in disrupted sleep meaning that increasing the dose doesn't make it better.
