My son is 4 years old and don't properly responds to most of the instructions which other children of same age can easily understand and respond. Not able to form proper sentences while speaking. Not able to socialize with other children. Not able to write properly although he is able to read. He is very stubborn He does not give any response to the questions asked to him Keep producing strange sounds all day. We are really worried about his studies and behavioral health. What shall we do, please suggest. Shall we visit a psychologist or a psychiatrist?

1)Can the personally held values and beliefs of a psychiatrist play any role in the treatment of a patient with a mental disorder ( for example, during talk therapies and counselling)? 2)Will a psychiatrist make his patient compromise with the set of ideas, values or beliefs that the patient holds? I apologise if I put up some 'should-not-ask-questions'. But these question are purely out of my doubts. These are some of the questions which are hindering me from deciding my consultation with a psychiatrist. Thank you.

Can I ask the psychiatrist for the explanation of complete details of my problem after my consultation or should I just follow the doctor's instructions?

For last 8 years, I have difficulty registering information in mind, difficulty concentrating on reading, can't absorb information, what others are saying in conversations or explaining me on lecture or phone, my mind is not taking up the information, also have thinking issues like mind is blocked and confusion. I have brain fog . When i go out to work, my mind is in fog, and all activities of thinking, concentrating, are affected. My mental abilities have declined significantly. Need help with this serious issue.

In the past 2 months, i have lost a lot of body weight, because I don't feel like eating anything even if it is one of my favourite dishes. I either sleep for more than 12 hours or i cannot sleep at all. I have constant feeling of hopelessness, i have stopped doing things which i used to do like playing guitar or reading. I don't feel like talking to anyone, and the people i talk to on a daily basis has reduced significantly.

I feel depression some times and mood disorders I have a family problem with my wife and financial crisis please help me.

Have the titled issues specially in night. I don't know it's common but I really have no control over these. Amd noone understands what I feel. It's like one bad thing and the whole ocean of darkness comes along and panic attacks starts ruling me. I can't say about this bcz everyone syas it's normal uh are overreacting or overthinking but I know its more than that. I don't know what to do.
