For the past few years I've been going through a really tough time . Not able to sleep study and concentrate on myself . Overthinking is getting worse . I'm not able to handle and go through it . I'm mentally and physically exhausted. Idk whom to reach for help . Looking for a doctor to help with this . Only when im sleeping im not thinking anything, if im up it's im not able to control myself from thinking about all the bad that has happened to me . I want to consult a doctor online.

I was diagnosed with severe anxiety & depression in early 2022.After consultation with a doctor,i was put on meds from apl 2022.I was doing extremely well until jan 2025,when burnout & stress caused the anxiety to recur.It has been severe since then.I suffer from suicidal tendency,depression and frequent anxiety(especially at night).I am in intense pain and feel life is over.Even after consulting multiple psychologists,psychiatrist & even tms sessions,the mental illness is still there.It has affected me very badly-resulting in severe suicidal tendency. I also suffer from pcos. Can anyone please tell me if i can ever recover?

My wife was diagnosed with health anxiety & sometimes face panic attacks due to same. Recently one of the doctor has advised to take Benfotiamine( B1) 900 mg per day & nutritional yeast fortified version in the diet along with magnesium glycinate. I need advised on Benfotiamine supplement as I am unable to find a good brand online or at pharma shop? Also please advise on the dose of Benfotiamine if 900 mg is too high or normal? Also advise on dose of Magnesium glycinate for anxiety & sleep issue?

I am married for 4 years. First 2 yrs we lived separately bcz of job but now we live together. I used to masturbate almost everyday from porn. Now when I live with wife I never masturbate only sex maybe 1-2 times in 2 weeks. But I also travel to other cities for work, 2-3 times a month. At that time I masturbate. And sometimes I masturbate for too long 2-3 hours. For a while I didn't not watch porn only masturbated with imagination, sometimes erotic literature, with fantasies. But then again I now masturbate with porn. Is it bad to masturbate like this?

I have been experiencing this since childhood. I am extremely sensitive to sudden loud sounds, especially Diwali firecrackers, sudden bangs, explosions, or any unexpected loud noise. Whenever I hear such a sound unexpectedly, I get very strongly startled and irritated/uncomfortable. My body reacts immediately, sometimes even before I can process what the sound was. This happens repeatedly and seems much stronger in my case compared with other members of my family. I want to understand why I have such a strong reaction to sudden loud sounds. Could this be due to sound sensitivity, an exaggerated startle response, anxiety, or some other neurological/psychological reason? Is there any treatment or therapy that can reduce this sensitivity and the strong reaction over time? Which specialist would be most appropriate for this—ENT, neurologist, psychiatrist, or psychologist?

I have been experiencing difficulties with concentration and staying focused for several years, particularly since around 2017 (13yrs old). I get distracted easily, struggle to start and complete mentally demanding tasks, and often procrastinate even when I know something is important. I also experience frequent restlessness and have difficulty sitting still for long periods. During conversations, I often interrupt people or start speaking before they have finished , mostly when they correct me on something . My family and friends have repeatedly pointed out that I sometimes talk instead of properly listening to what they are saying. When it comes to making music or singing I forget time , or i have to eat etc. I just get full focused but thats not the case with my studies. These difficulties are affecting my studies, daily routine, and relationships. I Am 22yrs old now and because of these problems I am stuck in my life I am not growing in my career.
