The cause of the whole thing can be physical illnesses like depression, thyroid, or dysbiosis. It will be the best thing to do is to talk to your parents, family, or any other adults that you trust so they can later take you to a psychiatrist. It's the first thing to do since, by doing so, you can get the right diagnosis, hence, treated, and hence feel better and go back to your normal self again.

में bhupesh mehta from Indore M.P. से हू, मेरी उम्र 49 साल है, मुझे depression, chemical लोचा है, रात में नींद नहीं आती है, मेरे घर के नजदीक के डाक्टर ने मुझे etolozom. 25 tablet लिखकर दी, पर ये गोली लेने से आराम नहीं है
Male | 49
These symptoms can be the result of chemical overload in the brain. The medication (etolozom. 25 tablets) prescribed to you might not be sufficient to improve concerns. You must talk to your doctor about other possible approaches or changes to your medication so that you can achieve better health.

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.

I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.
Male | 21
Often, a constant feeling of tiredness yet not wanting to sleep signals sleep issues or irregular routine. Perhaps insufficient rest or poor sleep patterns occur. Stress, excessive screen time, or inadequate exercise contribute. Establish a regular sleep schedule. Limit caffeine and sugar intake and wind down before bed.

I do not know why am I unable to sleep at nights
Female | 27
Insomnia causes difficulty sleeping. Stress, worries, caffeine late in the day could disturb your rest. Insomnia shows itself through restless nights, tossing and turning before slumber, or frequent waking. Develop a calming routine before hitting the sheets. Avoid those bright screens too.

I wanted to take about my sleeping problem and wanted to take sleeping pills
Male | 85
You have trouble sleeping at night. You are thinking of taking sleeping pills. This is known as insomnia. It can happen due to stress, anxiety, or lifestyle habits like using screens before bedtime. Taking sleeping pills might help but they can have side effects. First, try improving your sleep routine. Avoid caffeine. Create a relaxing bedtime routine.

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.

Male | 17
It appears you're experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, leaf pain, migraine headaches, and B12 deficiency. These symptoms can be connected with different causes such as tension, lifestyle, or malnutrition. To cope with them, express your emotions, use relaxation techniques that are good for you, eat healthily, sleep well, and rest appropriately. I advise consulting with a psychiatrist to address your mental health concerns and a neurologist to manage your migraine headaches and assess B12 deficiency.

Hi - I am taking for 10 months now mirtazipine 30 mg. Is it ok to half the dose - or do I need to build down more slowly? I gain a lot of weight … Thank you
Female | Joke
A common side effect of mirtazapine is weight gain. Talk with your doctor before you reduce your dose. They might recommend a strategy to decrease the dose gradually so that you won't have withdrawal symptoms. It is dangerous to quickly change your dose; therefore, it is necessary to do it carefully under the supervision of your doctor.

my partner has just taken 15mg zopiclone and 400 mg seroquel. Is there cause for concern?
Male | 39
Yes, that should be worry of yours if your partner has taken 15 mg zopiclone and 400 mg seroquel, if taken together. Both of them are soporific agents and can cause overcrowding, dizziness and confusion. It is critical to consult with a psychiatrist or a sleep specialist as you seek immediate medical treatment.

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.

I wonder if I have a form of OCD. I finger tap, muscle twitch, and count syllables. Also, when I finger tap and muscle twitch, it has to be equal on both sides of my body, or else it really bothers me. Also, let's say I hit my elbow on a table or fridge, I feel a very urgent need to touch my other elbow to said table or fridge, and it is very hard to ignore the need. This has been bothering me for about 2-3 years. (Ever since I started high school).
Female | 16
Your description points to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms. OCD is a condition where thoughts repeat. People feel compelled to do actions repeatedly. This includes tapping, counting, or needing symmetry. OCD treatment usually involves therapy and medication. Speaking with a psychiatrist about symptoms is crucial.

I have ADD / Inattentive ADHD. I’m having extreme problems with weight loss but my medication (Generic for Vyvanse), Suppresses my appetite and I can’t gain any weight. Are there any prescriptions I can try that won’t suppress my appetite and will help me gain weight?
Male | 18
It appears that you’re having trouble losing weight because of the medicine you’re taking for ADD/Inattentive ADHD. Your appetite is affected by this drug thus making it hard for you to gain weight. It may help if you talk to your doctor about trying another medication that doesn’t suppress appetite. Such a change could enable you to reach a healthy weight. Speak with your healthcare provider regarding your concerns so that they can find the right solution.

I m 14 year having no interest in studies forgot what learned
Male | 14
Teenagers often may not like some kinds of studying because it seems they have no interest in some subjects. It's similar to our emotions can be weakened or lost by outside forces such as being overwhelmed, demotivated, or distracted. Forgetting what you have learned can indicate that you are stressed or overwhelmed with many things in your head. You need to find time to unwind, practice self-discipline, and communicate your needs to someone if this happens to you. Appreciate that being involved in your studies is important but take time to relax and take care of yourself by knowing that it's okay to need help from others whenever you are in trouble.

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.
