Can ADHD cause difficulty focusing and restlessness while reading?
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.

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.

Schizophrenia from 4 years
Male | 23
Schizophrenia is a brain disorder, due to which individuals may occasionally believe that they can see or hear things that are not there, are unable to control their thoughts and translate them into proper directions, experience paralyzing fear, or believe that other people are planning to harm them. Thus, it might be that their thoughts are disjointed and rather difficult to follow. It is often recognized as associated with confusion. A group of inheritable factors, as well as the influence of the environment, can be held responsible for the development of schizophrenia.

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 have never known what am suffering from. symptoms, over sweating, anxiety disorders, trembling in public due to anxiety, panic I feel like doing something but I think of what people will talk about me, poor memory, sometimes I find my self feeling like swallowing saliva repeatedly, sometimes joint pain I don't even believe in my self And others I fail to identify
Male | 21
What you describe seems like an anxiety disorder. When people find themselves in a state of panic, their bodies can respond in a variety of ways. Symptoms can make you a little self-conscious about your colleagues' opinions, thus impairing your memory and possibly leading to pain in your joints. Listening to relaxation techniques, adding exercise to your routine, and talking with a psychiatrist might help. Anyway, you should know that you are not the only one who experiences this and there are ways to get better.

I am 22 years of age i have been feeling weak for the past 1week and i have visited the hospital for treatment and my doctors told me is stress and i have taken all the drugs but still am still feeling weak ?
Male | 21
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.

My sister took 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine together should I take her to hospital
Female | 18
Taking 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine pills together can put your sister in great danger. This mix of medicines may make her very sleepy, confused, and give her a fast heartbeat or even seizures. These drugs can interact badly and harm her body. It is crucial to take her to the hospital right away so doctors can help her feel better and stop serious problems from happening.

can i take propranolol before parachuting
Male | 24
If you take propranolol before skydiving, that might not be safe. Before such a high-energy activity the drug may slow down your pulse and lower blood pressure, which is risky. 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.

Hi I am 29 years old and a female I have acute insomnia and don’t have the funds to find out which medication can make me sleep, I’ve tried Adco zolpidem (I need to take 3 to sleep, and it doesn’t keep me asleep) and dormonoct and neither have worked. Please advise me on what medication is the strongest and will help me sleep through the night
Female | 29
You're going through ataxic insomnia. Insomnia is the condition of the person who finds it difficult to sleep. It may occur due to stress, worries, or illnesses. Because Adco Zolpidem and Dormonal Act have not worked for you, I would recommend the try of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that the body naturally produces and it is responsible for controlling the daily and monthly rhythms. It is over-the-counter and besides, it might also help you in getting a full night's sleep.

Male | 30
If you're struggling with forgetfulness and shyness, there are some general strategies you can try. To improve memory, break information into smaller chunks, use visual aids, and establish routines. Overcoming shyness involves starting with small steps, practicing self-acceptance, seeking support, gradual exposure to social situations. You may consult a psychologist or a therapist as well for overcoming social anxiety and improving self-confidence

The tetanus toxoid vaccine produces immunity by blocking the bacterial infection. If you see redness, warmth, or swelling, or if you have fever or muscle stiffness, contact the doctor as fast as you can. Monitor the different symptoms that may arise and just come back to us if there is any need

I feel a heavy heart, I get nervous while working, I am unable to understand things.To be firm, to sometimes be right, to not be unstable in mind
Male | 26
Experiencing tightness in your chest, jumping around, and becoming nervous while working is usually the result of tension or anxiety, which may cause your concentration to be muddled and leave you feeling incapacitated. To acknowledge and accept these emotions might be one of the most important things you can do. Try self-help techniques such as meditation or mindfulness to destress your mind. Daily physical exercises and a good diet can make you a happier and clearer person. If they continue to occur and get worse, I recommend you talk to your family doctor who will offer you qualified help and guidance.

6 month ago my nervologist appointed me escitalopram 10 mg Now i decrease dosage to 1/4 and symptoms like confusion,dizzines,heaviness and etc comes me back its not hard like 6month ago but still its bad and uncomfortable when will be gone withdrawal symptoms?
Male | 22
You're dealing with withdrawal effects due to lowering your escitalopram dose. Your body got accustomed to a certain amount, so changing it leads to symptoms. Confusion, dizziness, and heaviness may occur when the medicine level drops. The positive side is that these effects typically resolve within weeks without intervention. Try relaxing, sleeping adequately, and consulting your doctor regarding gradually reducing dosage for better symptom management.

Bipolar disorder therapies sometimes have side effects like erection problems which are quite common. Symptoms might consist of difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. This is mainly due to some medicines that interfere with the hormones or the blood circulation. It is important to have a discussion with your psychiatrist regarding this problem. Your doctor may modify or suggest alternative treatments to cope with this issue.

BPD is known for its symptoms such as self-injury, unstable emotions, fear of abandonment, and impulsivity. For example, you may feel sad, lose interest in things that previously gave you pleasure, and experience changes in your eating and sleeping habits. Genetic, biological, and environmental factors may be the culprits of both diseases. You should seek the assistance of a psychiatrist or a counselor.
