Anxiety and depression
I have been diagnosed with anxiety recently by a psychiatrist but I was hallucinating as well as going through mild depression.
The dr has prescribed me Roxbel CR and Serenace.
Now the thing is I have been laughing for no reason and getting very aggressive for the past few days.
What could be the reason ?

When you are subconsciously holding on to many emotions, your mind and body naturally find ways to express them. Do not worry or feel unsettled—allow moments of laughter, anger, or other emotions to arise and pass. Trust that these feelings are temporary and will eventually settle.
Next Steps
You can consult your doctor if you feel the medication is not working out for you
Health Tips
Please don't judge yourself for these thoughts you are taking help and you will be okay

Hi,
The sudden laughing and aggression you describe could be side effects of the medications or part of your underlying condition. Since you are already under psychiatric care, it is very important to let your doctor know about these new symptoms right away so they can adjust your treatment if needed. Please do not stop or change the medicines on your own. Stay in close touch with your psychiatrist and if the symptoms get worse or you feel unsafe, seek urgent help immediately. Consult a psychologist too. It will help.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing openly. Sudden laughter or aggression can sometimes appear as side effects of psychiatric medication, or they may be signs that your condition is still stabilizing. It’s important not to stop your medicines on your own, but to get this reviewed by your psychiatrist quickly.
Next Steps
Please reach out to your psychiatrist at the earliest and describe these new symptoms. They may need to adjust your dosage or modify the treatment plan. Early follow-up is the safest way to manage this.
Health Tips
Meanwhile, keep a simple record of your daily mood, sleep, and any unusual behaviors — this helps your doctor understand the pattern better. Alongside medication, try calming practices like deep breathing, relaxation exercises, or journaling. Ensure good sleep and avoid alcohol or substances, as they may worsen mood changes.
You’ve taken the right step by noticing this early. With timely medical review and counselling support, these symptoms can be managed well.

I can see how unsettling this feels. Sudden laughing, aggression, and mood shifts often point to how your brain is reacting to both the illness and the medication. Sometimes medicines meant to calm can trigger opposite effects in certain people. You deserve steadier relief, not more distress. Consult a psychiatrist asap.
Next Steps
If aggression escalates, or you feel out of control, seek emergency help right away.
Contact your psychiatrist soon; these symptoms suggest the prescription may need adjusting or changing.
Note when the laughing or aggression happens, relation to dose, sleep, stress. Bring this log to your doctor.
When agitation rises, pause: deep breathing, step away, cold water on face, helps reset.
Involve a trusted family member to observe and step in if symptoms worsen.
Health Tips
soft light, soothing music, something grounding you can turn to when aggression builds.
don’t fight them, just notice and write them down. Awareness lessens fear.
Limit stimulants like caffeine, they can worsen agitation.
When anger rises, step back: slow breathing, walk, or hold something cold to break the surge.
