I’ve been taking Cipralex and Fluanxole for a few years and about 5 months before I started having exaggerated startle response (myoclonus and blinking as a reaction to a sudden stimulus). Can it be caused by antidepressants? I’m very scared :(

I'm truly sorry to hear about your struggles. To address psychological problems and thinking disorders caused by your environment and relationships, seek professional help from a psychiatrist psychologist, or therapist. Share your feelings with a trusted friend or family member, prioritize self-care, and consider journaling. If necessary, set boundaries with toxic individuals and, under professional guidance, explore medication options. Recovery takes time, so be patient and work on a long-term plan with your mental health provider. You don't have to face this alone; there is help available.

The fear or anxiety related to time or the passage of time can make it challenging to focus on studying and other tasks. To cope up., break your study sessions into smaller, clear goals, set a regular study schedule, and use time management techniques. Practice relaxation and limit distractions.

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.
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

Overcome Stress, Sleep Issues, Find Emotional Relief
Am fully stress and i can't sleep all night. I wand to cry i don't know the reason but i wand cry
Dr. Vikas Patel
Psychiatrist
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.
