Anxiety issues with insomnia
My brother is 18yr old, in recent times he is facing anxiety issues, talking any people apart from family creates him lot of anxiety followed by chillness and sweat in hands and legs often. He is also face trouble in sleeping when there is a task assigned for him tomorrow, Now his college is to be reopened in a week , and asking him to stay at hostel , but with these scenario he is not ready for staying in hostel too because of anxiety, so college is requesting medical certificate regarding this issue for staying with his parents and also he needed to be treated. Please guide
In my opinion, your brother is either suffering from an Anxiety disorder or a depressive illness with anxiety symptoms. It might be due to various forms of stress or triggers. He will require detailed assessment by a psychiatrist to arrive at a diagnosis and start treatment. If his condition is severe enough, then Psychiatrist can make recommendations about hostel stay or not but that only depends to specifics of the case. A certificate should be ideally issued by a psychiatrist only if a patient has been physically examined by them.
