Depression problem I want the cure of this disease it's so important and i am very disturbed
Male | 17
Coping with the down mood that you do feels like a deep abyss, you are dealing with severe depression. It can be both emotional and physical parts of you, feel like you have lost hope, you are so exhausted that don't want to move, and you don't care about anything anymore. Visiting a psychiatrist and venting can help you feel consoled. It may be suggested that a combination of counseling and drugs would be the right course of action to treat the condition.

Female | 18
To regain concentration and confidence, it is vital to adopt healthy ways of life such as eating nutritious food, getting enough sleep, and regular exercise. Besides that, being taught some mindfulness skills including meditation and deep breathing can also be useful. If symptoms remain unresolved, guidance from a psychiatrist will be required.

Am fully stress and i can't sleep all night. I wand to cry i don't know the reason but i wand cry
Female | 18
That's normal - everyone experiences those feelings now and then. Stress builds up. It makes sleeping difficult and brings tears easily. That's okay though. Try opening up to someone you trust about what's bothering you. Deep breaths or listening to calm music might help too. Don't forget: taking care of your mental health matters just as much as your physical health.

Hi! I was just wondering why I had such a fear of people walking or sitting behind me! Sounds silly, but as a kid I would always get in the back of the line at school, and never want anybody in front of me, its still followed me and I'm 17, do you have any idea if its a phobia, or if I'm just paranoid?
Other | 18
You might have something called scopophobia, which is a fear of being watched or looked at. While it's natural to experience the discomfort of having someone standing behind you, on the other hand, it can be scopophobia if it has an impact on your everyday life. Symptoms are anxiety, sweating, and rapid heartbeat. The origin of it might be past experiences or genetics. Visit a psychiatrist for proper treatment.

Male | 26
You may have a gag reflex. This happens when your body is more sensitive to certain things you see, smell, or taste. It isn’t usually serious but it can be unpleasant. Try to steer clear of anything that makes you feel like this. If it won’t go away and bothers you, too, it might help to speak with a doctor about how to handle it.

My name is Deepali age 22 I have been listening to subliminal since last 4 - 5 days and since yesterday I am having side effects like dizziness brain fog nausea and blur vision can you please suggest what to do ????
Female | 22
It would appear that you have the feeling of an uncomfortable symptom like nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and brain fog. Often this is the result of stress, fatigue, or even your body's reaction to the silent subaudio. The thing is consciously leaving them to have a chance to get relaxation to mind and body is a must. Try to drink water regularly, guarantee that you have enough sleep, and reflect on slow-tempo activities like walking. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend you consult a Psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

Depression is a common illness that can take over your life, causing constant sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness. 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.

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.

"I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. It has been more than 48 hours since the ingestion, and I haven't experienced any severe symptoms. After taking the medication, I slept for almost around 24 hours. I also have IBS, and I'm concerned about any potential long-term effects or complications related to the overdose. Am I now in the safe zone? When would it be safe to resume my prescribed amitriptyline dose of 10 mg twice a day? Should I undergo any tests or monitoring before resuming the medication, or would it be safe to wait for a week and then restart my regular dose?"
Female | 23
Glad to know that you have not been experiencing any severe symptoms after taking 50 mg of amitriptyline. The fact that you slept for a long time could be a side effect of the medication. If you're feeling alright now and the time gone is more than two days there's probably nothing serious about it. Whatever the case, you should stay off your usual dosage of 10 mg twice a day for a week first. The best thing to do is to see a doctor if you experience any peculiar signs during that period.

See a psychologist or psychiatrist as soon as possible and get treated for any possible mental health issues that may be influencing your symptoms. In addition, go to a nutritionist or dietitian and have them compose a meal plan which will be a part of a healthy weight maintenance.

Female | 23
The symptoms you're describing could be due to a panic attack, which can sometimes mimic a heart attack. It's important to address this issue promptly. Make sure you take your antidepressants consistently as prescribed and consult a mental health expert for the best way to manage your anxiety. Stress management techniques, like deep breathing exercises, can also help with these symptoms.

I am a 18 year old female , I’ve been struggling to eat for the past month because I eat small portions and I feel uncomfortable in my own skin as if I can’t take the small portions of food anymore it’s been happening for over a month
Female | 18
When eating small portions makes you uncomfortable, it's important to ask for help. This isn't normal behavior. It could signal anxiety, stomach issues, or an eating disorder. Don't ignore these signs. Trusted friends or family can support you in getting to the root cause. Seeking professional counseling from a psychiatrist may also provide clarity.

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 hv stop sizomant after 45 days and facing some withdrawal side effects....withdrawal symptoms means what.. I changed dr..he gave toficalm, arip mt 2, nexito ls, trymptor... Taken 3 days, I m confused....as not getting sleep...and saw in Google arip mt 2 has serious side effects. Can I restart sizomant at half tablet after stopping above medicine
Female | 43
Withdrawal symptoms are the body's reaction to the sudden cessation of the drug. Confusion, insomnia (the inability to sleep), and anxiety are just a few of the usual symptoms. In order to deal with these symptoms, it is very important to gradually taper off the medications than to abruptly stop them. However, using sizomant at a lower dose might also help relieve the withdrawal symptoms, but seek medical advice first.

I have savere anxiety dipprestion can't go outside delusion of people are against me or they will harm me or they are making plans against me from a 1 year I spend my time in isolation in a room can't go outside everything is worse of life I checked to many psychiatrist and take many medicines but no relief what I do now
Male | 23
Delusions of people opposing you are troubling. Brain chemical imbalances or past trauma could cause these symptoms. Since psychiatrists and medications haven't helped yet, keep trying different treatments. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, or new medications might be beneficial. Keep seeking help until you find what works best. Supportive, understanding individuals can make a difference too.

I am suffering from OCD from last five years and I changed doctor, medicine everything but I didn't see any difference yet now I got very depressed and my anxiety level increases day by day so what is the solution?
Female | 17
OCD, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, can be very challenging to manage. It often causes anxiety and makes it hard to make decisions, disrupting daily life. While changing doctors and medications can help, open communication with your current doctor is essential. Be honest about trying new treatment approaches; they may suggest options like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which has proven effective in managing OCD symptoms. Many people have faced similar struggles and learned to live with OCD, so remember, it is possible to cope. If you need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your psychiatrist.

Feeling too sleepy but still not getting sleep
Female | 27
This happens when you're anxious or stressed. Irregular habits play a role too. Caffeine and screen time before bed don't help either. Try a calming routine - read, take a warm bath. Avoid caffeine, screens close to bedtime. Keep a consistent sleep schedule. If it persists, talk to a therapist or counsellor.
