Hi , I have been having chronic headaches with lightheadedness. I took treatment from an ENT specialist and he performed some tests and concluded the problem could be due to vestibular migraine. He put me on medicines for a couple of months after that he referred me to a psychiatrist. I met a psychiatrist and he took the details of my problem. Actually I have had anxiety issues for many years and I told him about the same. The psychiatrist prescribed medicines Tryptomer 10mg and Placida 10mg daily night for a month and asked me to consult him again. I am already taking Metaprolol XL 25mg in the morning. Now Amitriptyline and Placida are prescribed to be used in the night. Is it okay if I take both Amitriptyline and Placida together in the night as prescribed by the doctor? I just got a doubt as both tend to be treating depression and anxiety. Sorry for my ignorance.

I've been dealing with anxiety for a year now which has caused me acidity issues and frequent heart palpitations, disturbed sleep, fatigue body weakness etc. After consulting a gastroenterologist to check my acidity issues, he ruled out any major stomach issues and has given me medication for anxiety for 4 weeks. Clonotril 0.5mg once every night. Sometimes during the day I have heart palpitations, how can I manage my anxiety. Can someone suggest a good therapist/psychologist in Bangalore? Thank you.

I was a very active person back in my college days. Probably the most popular person in my class. Over the last several years, I have detached from all my friends for unknown reasons. I gained around 25-30 kg over the last 6-7 years. Ever since COVID I lost interest at work and got fired from 2 companies. My family got me married to a person that I have nothing in common with. I need to be that jovial person I was once. I need to get rid of my laziness and get a grip on my life. Please help me

I'm feeling fearful almost every day now. It is hampering my progress. I become anxious from silly things. I do overthinking by thinking about future, or what if someone will laugh at me etc. This preventing me from doing anything in my life. How should I tackle this?

My mother is having astma issue for a long.

This is with regard to my mother. She recently lost her young son (age 33) due to sudden heart attack at his workplace away from our hometown on 4th July 2023. My mother has been continuously crying since that day, even during her sleep. Whenever she is awake she is in tears. She occasionally talks to him as well. Her blood pressure has shooted to 180/90. She does not want to get up and work and has been crying continuously day and night. I am worried about her health. Should I visit a psychiatrist or wait for few days to let her vent her grief? She talks in her sleep as well. I myself am a psychologist so I was not willing to rush to things and let go things naturally on its own. Please suggest me when should be the right time to take her to a psychiatrist.

Please suggest a few top facilities which have a good success rate in treating severe anxiety, depression, mood swings and nightmares - with good psychotherapists. I've tried many doctors and medicines - I'd like to get admitted for proper observation and treatment.

Regarding my last post about fear of hallucinations and ocd , if it's only ocd and not the edge of psychosis then why do I get thoughts like - Now something bad will happen to me , some paranormal activity will happen soon and ghosts will kill me or haunt me . Are these just OCD thoughts ?? These thoughts are stupid according to me , but they scare me too . I am taking help of a psychiatrist currently . Hoping to feel better but can anyone please clarify what's going on with me ? I think m going crazy .
