Dear Dr, I am on Clonotril 0.5 mg morning and 0.5 mg night from past 3 years, I started tapering it myself and in between I have to undergo DNS surgery. I have restarted using the same dose. I think I am in a state of Benzo belly. Can you pls suggest any appropriate way to deal with it. My anxiety levels are at roof now. Please help!!

I am a working mom of 1yo little one . Of late I have become extremely frustrated,anxious,irritated and reactive . So much that the back of my head hurts badly .

Over the past several months (or longer), I’ve noticed that my mood becomes extremely unstable around my menstrual cycle. During this time, I experience: Intense sadness Excessive crying Feelings of being unloved or unworthy Thoughts that people, especially my partner, don’t care about me Feeling emotionally ignored or invisible Difficulty sleeping when these episodes happen Heightened sensitivity to rejection or lack of response Strong emotional pain if I feel unsupported These feelings become so strong that they affect my relationships and my ability to function normally. For example, last night I cried the entire night and didn’t sleep, and even though my partner and I have been together for three years, he didn’t ask why I was upset. This intensified my thoughts that I’m not worthy of love. Small interactions feel painful and overwhelming during this time. Most of these symptoms appear cyclically, especially around my period, and I return to a more stable emotional state afterward.

I constantly experience FOMO, which makes it very hard for me to focus on my studies. I am an engineering student and currently have three backlogs, so I know studying is important, but I still end up spending a lot of time watching YouTube videos. I deactivated my Instagram account because scrolling there was worsening my FOMO, but on YouTube I keep watching motivational and random videos instead of studying. This cycle is affecting my mental health. I feel mentally restless, get irritated easily, and experience panic at times. Even when I want to study, my mind feels distracted and overwhelmed, and I’m unable to stay consistent.

My mother has been experiencing auditory hallucinations for 20 years. This is the first time she's agreed to see a psychiatrist. She's currently in treatment and has been taking medicine for 3 months. In the first month, she felt gradually tired when taking it. Now she's extremely tired. She's taking Risperidone Plus (likely Risperdal or similar). She can't stay in one place; she'll lie down for two minutes and then get up again, says her legs are vibrating. Her lips are drying out. She's very tired. When we tell the doctor, they say it's because of the medicine. But why hasn't the medicine adjusted to her body even after three months? The doctor says if we reduce the dose, the hallucinations might slowly start coming back. So, they suggested trying Pakin 2mg . But mom is scared because she's already tired from this one and says she can't do anything. Next appointment is this coming Sunday. Mom says she can adjust until then. I'm very scared😔. will it cure? or life long medicin need?

For a few years, I used to teach a student.She was a female student who was at that time 11 years old.She was very jolly in nature and used to talk to my father a lot.But last year I was not able to teach her anymore as she lied a lot. Her mother didn't like that.She also used a lot of harsh words as I decided to stop teaching her. But my father was really upset about her behaviour. He is a cardiac patient.It has been a year since that incident happened. Still, my father remembers it and always complains that he is having sleep issues.Actually, he loves kids a lot.He sometimes just misses the kid and whenever he remembers that mother's behaviour he becomes upset or angry sometimes he is having sleep issues.Actually he falls in sleep but the sleep is not lasting.What should we do?

How to not become anxious during a convo and social situations? I feel a constant slight anxiety. I feel frightened when someone asks about my illness. Kindly give a transforming response.
