Answered on 29th Oct '24
OCD is a mental disorder that makes you have unwanted thoughts or fears that cause you to do things over and over again. You might for instance check things a lot or scrub excess. Such situations may be troubling and interfere with your normal routine. Although the exact cause is not known, it may run in families. In these cases, therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medication can help manage OCD. Don't be afraid to get support from a psychiatrist.

Headaches and difficulty sleeping are normal when getting used to this treatment. To relieve these signs your doctor might want to lower the dose. Be certain to inform your doctor of these side effects so that he or she can decide what would be best for your case.

I've been seeing things that aren't there, and feeling an overwhelming sense of paranoia. I feel bugs crawling on my skin and feel like I've lost my individuality, and have no personality. I don't know what's wrong with me.
Female | 15
It sounds like you might be having symptoms of a mental health problem known as psychosis. This makes people see or hear things that are not there, become paranoid, or have trouble thinking clearly. Various things such as stress, trauma, or even some medical conditions may trigger these signs. It is important to confide in someone about what you are going through and also seek help from a mental health specialist like a therapist or psychiatrist.

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.

I am 23 year old currently I'm understanding sleep disorders like talking while and shouting and yelling out of fear while sleeping, I don't know what is reason I don't remember what happened me waking up,
Female | 23
It seems that you might have parasomnia a type of sleep disorder. It can cause sleep talking or shouting without your awareness. This might be related to stress, anxiety, or even irregular sleep patterns. Try to manage stress levels, keep a consistent sleep schedule, and develop a relaxing bedtime routine to lessen these incidents. If this does not help, seek advice from a psychiatrist.

Hi, i usually take latuda 40 mg and benztropine 0.5 mg specifically at nighttime. However, this morning i took them on accident instead of just taking my morning dose of 0.5 mg benztropine. I was able to induce vomiting to try to get the medication out of my system. Can i still take my regular nightime medications(40 mg latuda, 0.5 mg benztropine? Or do i need to wait until tomorrow night to start taking them again?
Female | 20
It's positive you made yourself vomit to remove meds from your body. Since you took them earlier today, you can still have your usual dose tonight. Just watch for odd signs like feeling dizzy, very sleepy, or heart beating differently. If anything seems bad, talk to a doctor.

I’m a 23 year old that was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago. I have a hard time focusing and reading and have the urge to move around a lot when I try to concentrate on something.
Male | 23
It appears you're having difficulty with concentration and staying put, which are often signs of ADHD. This is because your mind functions in a slightly different way. Many people with ADHD struggle to pay attention or manage their impulses. Some things can be done such as taking medication, going for therapy as well as learning new skills that will help you handle these symptoms better.

I have short term memory issues..I forgot what I have studied..I am a student.. currently preparing for competitive exam ..does it safe to take ritalin like addwize 18mg for memory and concentration
Male | 30
Short-term memory problems happen because of stress, chronic sleep deprivation, or low concentration. Instead of taking medication like Ritalin or Addwize, it's better to focus on healthy habits like getting enough sleep, eating well, and practicing relaxation techniques. Besides that, you can try memory techniques such as list-making or flashcards to remember information effectively.

I have been suffering from mental problems for 22 years. This is the result of excessive study and researching day and night on various topics. At first severe headache lasted for 2 years. My mind was weak. I could not stay in one place for more than 5 days. I used to run away from home aimlessly. I used to come back again. My sister wanted to get lost in the forest. I wanted to commit suicide. I tried thousands of times but failed. I drank poison once but I survived. The biggest problem was that I could not study. But I had an indomitable desire to study. I did not sleep all night. I used to get very angry. I haven't talked to Karo for 1 year. I haven't even left the house. Finally, I got some relief by dropping my studies. But sometimes this problem bothers me. Anyway, after seeing the doctor, I started tuition. After 7 years went by, but the problem did not go away, I was having a lot of problems in getting students. Not working. Not forced to work hard. Left tuition and started working in a company. It gave me some relief. Sleeping. Now my humble request is, what should I do to get fully healthy? So that I can teach tuition again and spend the rest of my life in peace. Please advise me.
Male | 36
The symptoms you have given, such as intense headaches, lack of strength, fleeing, contemplating suicide, and difficulties with studying, are indeed worrying. These can be caused by mental health problems such as depression or anxiety. It is necessary to seek assistance from a psychiatrist who can offer counseling and medication if needed.

Hello, I am 30 years old. I have been suffering from panic attacks, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder for 7 years. I went to a psychologist, looked at my condition and prescribed medications. Medication: Velaxin twice a day, half a tablet of Abizol, zolomax 2/1 tablet, 1 tablet after 3 days. I take these medications. I'm afraid to use it. I went to a heart doctor and he examined me and said my heart was healthy. What I want to ask you is, do these drugs harm people?
Kişi | 30
It’s totally okay to feel worried about the medications you’ve been given. Velaxin is for anxiety and panic attacks, Abizol and Zolomax are for anxiety and OCD. These drugs are generally safe when used correctly but can cause dizziness or drowsiness as common side effects. You must follow your doctor’s orders and tell them if anything strange is happening to you.

I am studing but it is not entering my head I am facing it for last 1 month What to do?
Male | 21
If you are feeling tired all the time, running a fever, and experiencing general bodily malaise (like muscle aches), there is a chance that what you have could be caused by some kind of virus such as influenza. The important thing for now is making sure to drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, and take over-the-counter medicines for symptomatic relief. However, should none of these measures work then I would advise seeking further guidance from your doctor or another healthcare professional.

Hello 2 years ago, I had ED, only sometimes (once or twice a month i used to get very hard errection otherwise it was very very spongy like) - I then had panic attacks diagnosis and started taking serlift and etizom for 5 months now. I noticed my muscles and body is grown and also I get hard errection when i have a strong desire. Sometimes twice a day but when i am sad again, i again have the problem. Is my ed because of this panic attacks? Will it go away automatically forever or can it come back after i stop medicines?
Male | 26
You’ve had a tough time dealing with erectile dysfunction before, and sometimes, medical conditions can be a cause. Feeling down or stressed can also affect your ability to get an erection. The good news is that your current medication seems to be helping. As your mental health improves, your ED might get better as well.

Hello i need to ask about PEth test. This month i have been drunk 3 times. How long do i have to wait in order to pass a PEth test? Also i have been drinking quite heavily in all these 3 times. 2 weeks sober in between the drinking occasions.
Male | 25
The PEth test looks for alcohol in your blood over a long time, not just one day like other blood tests. It is very important to drink lots of water, eat good food, and not drink any alcohol to help your body get better. It's a challenging process, but staying sober and taking good care of yourself can help lower your PEth levels more quickly.

I am a 32 year old male, who feels effaminate, feminine, unmanly, girlish, and have super low self confidence, self esteem, willpower, self control, and have serious aforesaid social issues. I have zero motivation, and despise myself. I have been diagonised as bipolar disorder, and had been taking medications for more than 14 years, but if no avail. My recent psychiatrist advised me to check with an endroconologist, and a psychotherapist who specializes in sexuality. Any suggestion?
Male | 32
It seems you are in depressive phase of bipolar disorder, and you most likely seems to have bipolar II, where in one has more of depressive episodes, and short hypomanic episodes, one needs to take mood stabilizers under supervision of psychiatrist to control mood swings( from hypo mania to depression ) along with antidepressants which should help to recover from your illness , and need to psycho educate the patient and relatives on symptoms of both depression and hypomanic episodes

Hi I’ve been waking up at the same time every day for two weeks and every day I wake up either crying moving things around my room or having sleep pralysis I’ve suffered with this before but haven’t had it in ages
Female | 18
Sleep paralysis is a sleep disorder that makes you feel stuck. Your brain wakes up, but your body doesn't. This causes temporary paralysis which can be scary. You might feel afraid or confused. Seeing things move or crying are part of this experience. To reduce sleep paralysis, have a regular sleep routine. Go to bed at the same time each night. Avoid screens before bed. If it keeps happening, talk to a sleep specialist. They can guide you on what to do.

Hi I'm taking esomeprazole, lisinopril, lipitor, citalopram and ropinerole. I want to know if I can take anti sweat tablets
Female | 59
It is possible that sweating contributes to the discomfort, and any medications may interact with each other. The adverted drug might also negatively affect the efficiency of other medications that you are taking. It is vital to communicate with a doctor. They will give advice or suggest something else if necessary to manage your situation.
