Mental Health

I’m diagnosed with ADHD, depression, anxiety disorder, adjustment disorder, and chronic anger issues. After adding Bupropion SR 150 mg, I developed EPS, likely due to interaction with Aripiprazole (currently 1.25 mg). I previously had EPS at 5 mg Abilify, but not at 2 mg without Bupropion. Currently, 1.25 mg Abilify isn’t helping with my anger/irritability, and I’m sensitive to antipsychotics overall. Would Cariprazine be a better option with lower EPS risk and better emotional control, especially alongside Bupropion? Current meds: • Prozac 40 mg • Axepta 40 mg BID • Bupropion SR 150 mg • Aripiprazole 1.25 mg • Depakote XR 250 mg • Ritalin (SOS) • L-Carnosine • Magnesium L-Threonate Thanks in advance!

My husband's friend calls my 14 year old daughter frequently on a regular basis in the guise of teaching her. Most of the times, he calls her to talk random stuff. He is not the lecher/pedophile types. Yesterday when he called I picked up my daughter's phone. I kept saying hello...he did not speak at all so I disconnected.. I called him back and he didn't pick up, got the line busy tone. Today he called my husband and said that your daughter asked me a doubt and I will call your daughter, ask your wife to not pick up my call ( I think he wanted my D to pick up his call) I don't like him calling my daughter frequently and also telling my husband that I should not pick up my daughter's call seems like something is off. What should I make of it?

I have been experiencing maladaptive daydreaming since a young age, where I often get lost in long and uncontrollable daydreams. Along with this, I struggle with feelings of hopelessness, frequent suicidal thoughts, and very low self-esteem. I constantly feel sad, negative, and emotionally isolated, even when I am around others. These feelings affect my daily life, relationships, and ability to enjoy even small moments. I am seeking help to understand and heal from these struggles.

Dear sir/ma'am, I am using Clonazepam + Escitalopram Oxalate daily at night for depression. Can I make  MRI/CT scan while using the said tablets .

She says she is unhappy for no reason. She cries for no reason. Lost her smile. No deep sleep. No proper dreaming pattern. No interest in life. She has been trying yoga and different types of hobbies to keep her busy. But nothing is actually helping her. No particular problem in life. She has a good job. A good love life. Loving and well to do parents. Seeking psychiatric help.

Explain if the following scenario is masturbation or not: I have an almost-daily habit where I hug and kiss my pillow very passionately, imagining it as my girlfriend — the girl I deeply wished to be with. While doing this, I get emotionally involved, like I'm making out with her. I don't touch my genitals directly or rub them against the pillow, but I do get an erection, and it starts throbbing during the process. Sometimes, I pull back the foreskin slightly to check, and I notice pre-cum has come out. At that point, I stopped. This pattern repeats daily, and I’m starting to feel like I might be masturbating, even though I’m not stimulating myself with my hands or the pillow. Back in the days when I used to masturbate,I used to hump the bed. But it's been 2 years now. There's more to do in life other than this cheap stuff. I'm trying to get hold of one habit that makes me over generalise.

I am 28 years old. We didn't have sex until three months after we got married because I was scared about it. We tried a lot of time, but it was very difficult for me to insert it and it was very painful, so I kept pushing him away.I had a love marriage. I used to get some lubrication when I made love. But now it doesn't happen. I got pregnant because we had sex in pain and now I have an 11-month-old baby. Even after I delivered, I haven't had sex yet. It hurts a lot if we try to penetrate.After that i tried to have sex but I didn't feel anything except pain. I didn't have any sexual desire.
