Answered on 16th Aug '24
Sertraline is a medicine often used for anxiety and depression. Tattooing does not contain blood thinners but may result in minor bleeding. Thus it’s important to inform the tattoo artist about your intake of Sertraline so that they can take necessary precautions. To prevent any complications ensure you adhere to their aftercare advice.

What would happen if I take 3 yellow betapam pills at once
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 14th Aug '24
Taking 3 yellow betapam pills at once is extremely risky. Betapam treats anxiety disorders. But overdosing can induce severe dizziness, excessive sleepiness, and dangerously slowed breathing – a serious overdose situation requiring urgent medical attention. Never exceed your doctor's recommended dosage.

Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 13th Aug '24
The difficult and uncomfortable periods of nervousness, high anxiety attacks, and hypertension can be handled. The body has been known to react this way when it is under stress or preoccupied with some thoughts. It's normal to feel that way, but if it's happening a lot, it's a good idea to talk to a psychiatrist. Breathing slowly and practicing relaxation techniques such as yoga may assist in quieting your mind.

Can Excessive Study Lead to Long-term Mental Health Issues?
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.

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.

It's important to understand that schizophrenia is a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment.

Ibuprofen and Clonazepam: Combined Use Considerations
Can i take ibuprofen with clonazepam together
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 6th Aug '24
Taking ibuprofen and clonazepam together isn't recommended unless your doctor approves it. If combined without medical advice, there's an elevated risk of undesirable effects: drowsiness, dizziness, breathing difficulties. Therefore, consult your psychiatrist before using these medications concurrently. They may suggest timing adjustments or alternative treatments to address your symptoms securely.

Can sleeping pills help with lack of sleep?
Lack of Sleep I want some sleeping pills
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 5th Aug '24
The signs of sleep deprivation, such as feeling exhausted, being moody, and having difficulties concentrating, can be bothersome. The reasons can be stress, too much screen time before bed, or a noisy environment you cannot control. Rather than sleeping pills, develop a soothing bedtime routine, such as reading a book or taking a warm bath to calm your mind. It can help you get the sleep you need.

This could be a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or a specific phobia. It's important to consult a psychiatrist who can evaluate your symptoms and help you manage this condition effectively.

Depression is a disease that comes with emotions of sadness, lack of interest, tiredness, difficulty in focusing, and changes in sleep patterns. This may be a combination of different reasons such as heredity, brain chemistry, and life events. It is necessary to get support from loved ones and think about talking to a therapist or a psychiatrist to get medication to help with these symptoms.

OCD makes people have weird thoughts they can't stop. Like needing to touch dust. These obsessive behaviors feel impossible to avoid. Even though you know they're irrational, the urge is extremely powerful. Don't worry, it's treatable with therapy and medications prescribed by psychiatrists. Discussing the issue openly with counselors helps manage disturbing compulsions. They understand this disorder and can guide you through coping strategies. There are solutions available to overcome OCD's relentless grip.

Managing Depression, Anxiety, and Fears
I am feeling depressed and a couple of fears and anxiety
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 2nd Aug '24
Depression leaves feelings hard. Anxiety builds fear. Tough times come. Not sleeping well happens. You feel worried, scared, sad. It can feel overwhelming. What causes these? Stress plays a role. Brain chemical imbalances occur too. But solutions exist like seeing psychiatrists for help. Using relaxing methods helps.

Possible OCD Symptoms: Finger Tap, Muscle Twitch, Symmetry
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).
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 2nd Aug '24
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.
