Why am I experiencing paranoia, hallucinations, and depersonalization?
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.

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.

You might have acid reflux making your chest feel weird after eating. It could also be anxiety. Dry, scratchy eyes are another sign of being anxious. You should try eating more slowly and staying away from spicy foods as well as doing relaxation exercises or talking with someone you trust about what's on your mind Managing your anxiousness can also help with relieving dryness so if needed use some artificial tears.

I have problems with getting to sleep. But I do shisha and after I do shisha it helps me to sleep, but it's not good for my help what can I do to do away with intial insomnia
Male | 27
Utilizing shisha for sleep isn't recommended at all. In addition, the difficulty of getting sleep is called initial insomnia, and two possible reasons for that may be stress, bad sleep habits, or the use of drugs like shisha. A potentially successful method to deal with the troublesome situation is to establish a bedtime habit that makes you relaxed and quit stimulants, and some consultation with a doctor might be helpful on time.

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

I need a dermatologist and psychologist
Female | 22
You seem to have complaints about skin problems and at the same time you are a little down. Your skin could make you overwhelmed and that's the feeling that can backfire on your skin. One of the ways of discovery of the actual cause of the skin disorder is the dermatological examination, which could be identified as an allergy or an infection. Seeing a psychologist can help you control your stress and feel better too thus inducing favorable skin condition too. Trust me, getting both addressed can make a big difference.

My son aged 25 was learnt to be under your treatment.I neither know for what illness nor have his prescription.He is aggressive and wouldn't co-operate if I call him for consultation with you along with me and his mom although he said to have consulted you.The boy is confined to his room and is hostile towards me for reasons unbelievable.His mother, my wife was under Dr vijayakumar's treatment from 2000 for over a period of 10 years.Now she consults another psychiatrist as she was on a transferable job. I am 62 years old and my wife 56 years.She had taken VRS from Bank job six months ago. My son is only child and a pampered one.His behaviour isn't acceptable although he would appear normal. I am worried how I could manage to give him treatment through you as he is aggressive and may also leave home
Male | 25
Aggression and hostility may be symptoms of other problems such as anxiety or depression. It is very important to handle the situation with empathy and patience. Supporting him through the process like by advising him to reach out to a psychiatrist, can be helpful. The main approach to the matter is to allow him to freely express what he feels, thus he will be able to share his issues.

Hello so i am a 13y old boy. Since this month i had some panick attacks and hyperventillation(i had 2 one today and one 2 weeks ago) i would ask how i can stop making having panick attacks or hyperventillation.
Male | 13
Commonly, everyone gets scared or anxious from time to time, even when experiencing panic attacks and hyperventilation. These are most likely caused by stress, fear, or anxiety. Signs are quick breathing, chest tightness, and dizziness. Apart from doing deep breathing exercises, training in mindfulness, and talking to a trustful person, can also reduce panic attacks.

You consumed too many codeine and cyclizine tablets. These can hurt you badly. Sleepiness and slowed breathing are risks. Dizziness, confusion, feeling sick may occur. It's crucial to reach out immediately if experiencing such symptoms. Call emergency services right away.

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.

I am an 18 year old female and have recently been prescribed 25mg of setraline. However i haven't started taking it yet as i didn't feel i got to ask the questions that concerned me about starting this medication and talk about the side effects before committing to this medication.
Female | 18
Sertraline is often a drug to treat feelings of anxiety or depression. Undoubtedly, nausea, headaches, or tiredness can be among the common side effects. But these typically go away by themselves after a short period. If you notice anything that concerns you or if you have any unusual symptoms, speaking with your psychiatrist is a helpful thing to do.

I am 24 years male 6ft 64kg I have long term chronic constitution Weight loss depression anxiety and nervousness
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've had this issue for a long time; the notion of having sex with my family members crosses my mind, and even though I know it's not ethically proper, I can't stop myself. Even the notion that the person with whom I want to have sex wants to have sex with me occurs to me. As a result, I've been into a lot of difficulty. I am always depressed.

It seems like anxiety may be the cause. Feeling nervous or troubled happens. Your breathing gets tough. Anxiety arises from stress. Or it could stem from genes. Some medical issues can lead to it too. But you can manage through techniques like relaxation. Regular exercise helps.

Male | 29
It is not advisable to stay on Librium without seeking medical advice while you are coping with alcohol symptoms of withdrawal. The doctor will assess your condition and only after that make an expert recommendation on the suitable treatment. You must see a psychiatrist who knows all about addiction medicine for the correct assessment and treatment to be done.

Good day doctor Since childhood, I have always been pressing on my nerves and muscles throughout my body, and I can't control myself. It's like grinding teeth, but in my body, and it's voluntary. These are not spasms; I do them, but I can't stop them. When I try to stop myself, I feel like I'm going to explode. The issue was minor in childhood and significantly reduced during adolescence almost to the point of disappearing. However, over the past few years, the problem has worsened significantly. Currently, I'm squeezing my body's vertebrae, especially my neck, and I feel like it's twisting. I consulted a psychiatrist and neurologist who said there is no organic issue, just a bit of anxiety. I took medications for anxiety and stress, but there was no effect. Thank you very much for your time
Male | 34
Pressing nerves and muscles could be body-focused repetitive behavior. This means squeezing or pushing body parts. Anxiety can make this worse. You should see a psychiatrist and neurologist. Since they found no physical problems, managing anxiety and stress may help.

Female | 44
Being nervous and not being able to sleep are usual symptoms of stress among other things like migraines especially after a divorce. By the way, Stilpain should help ease the pain but it would be better if you could see a psychiatrist soon to discuss everything with them. They may be able to give some advice on how best to deal with such situations.
