Can antidepressants be taken for long term like 6 months any side effects for anxiety disorder people
Hello Doctors, I am an adult seeking a comprehensive online assessment for possible Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1) and/or ADHD. I have experienced lifelong difficulties with social communication, sensory sensitivities, executive functioning, attention, memory, and daily functioning. These traits have been present since childhood but were never formally evaluated. Unfortunately, when I have tried discussing this before, some doctors dismissed my concerns simply because I am an adult, saying I am "too old" to have autism or ADHD. From what I understand, many adults are diagnosed later in life, especially if they learned to mask their symptoms. I am looking for a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist who has experience with adult autism and ADHD assessments and is open to conducting a thorough evaluation online using appropriate diagnostic methods, rather than ruling it out based on age alone. If you provide such assessments or can guide me, I would really appreciate your response

Hello Doctor, I have social anxiety. Whenever I have to talk to professional people, especially female colleagues or female professionals, I experience a rapid heartbeat, nervousness, and intense anxiety. Earlier, I was prescribed Inderal 20 mg, and it helped me manage these symptoms. I may be rejoining my job soon. Before taking it again, I wanted to ask whether it would be safe and appropriate for me to restart Inderal 20 mg, especially if I am also taking my current medication. I would be grateful for your guidance. Thank you, Doctor.
