Health Q&A
General health knowledge
I'm currently a 19 y/o corporate employee and I joined corporate in March 2026. I used to feel lost , tired and exhausted everytime even after full sleep earlier as well but after the job things have got a bit more upscaled as I'm living alone here and it's a night shift that I work . I don't know if it's the schedule or maybe I'm not able to fit in the corporate I don't know. I feel very lonely and often find myself overthinking and panicking and crying in my room frequently or stressing over millions of things. And from past few weeks all i dream of is me working in the company and making mistakes. The pressure is getting heavy and I have lost interest in my hobbies that I loved to do . My food habits have got worsen too . And recently I found I gained sudden weight out of nowhere. I have lost motivation to do things and all I wish for is to just keep laying in my bed cause I'm forever tired . I stopped interacting with people that maybe its a social withdrawal. I'm anxious alltime.

Comprehensive Issue
From childhood, I have lifelong difficulties that go beyond ADHD. When I listen to someone speaking, even carefully, I cannot process or understand — it feels like hearing a foreign language. Same with reading — I read but meaning does not reach inside. I cannot form mental images or visualize what is being explained. I cannot connect pieces of information together. These problems have persisted since childhood and affect every area of my life. A comprehensive assessment is required — this is more about comprehension and processing than attention alone. Despite working hard, I am not able to survive or cope. Life is becoming harder as I am growing. Depression because of this reason. Any doctor who understand this more than prescribing only medication. Thanks
