Did those medicines help, if so they need to be taken for a while as recommended by your psychiatrist and not to be abruptly stopped. Consult the psychiatrist again

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
It’s common to experience sleep disturbances even after recovering from an illness like typhoid, especially if stress or anxiety is involved. I recommend seeking therapy alongside your prescribed medication. A combination of both therapy and medication can effectively address the underlying anxiety contributing to your sleep disturbances, facilitating a smoother recovery.
Meanwhile, do daily sleep hygiene practices: maintain a fixed sleep schedule, limit screen time before bed, avoid caffeine in the evening, and practice.
Next Steps
