Mental Health

Dear Doctors, My parents are suffering from alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse. I am sure this is how it has been for the last 25 years or more, considering I'm 25. Everytime my parents consume alcohol, I feel they are more open to disclose a bothering problem about each other (even something small and ridiculous to fight over) and fighting like dogs. There has been cases where the neighbour had to come down due to the extreme noise created. As a child, I have always hated them for this. But with age, I have tried explaining to them how it affects us and the family and how they should stop drinking. But they only take it personally and say I am not perfect either and I do not have the right to preach them. Today I have reached a point where I do not want to live with them, just to escape this drama everyday and night. But my brother has to live through this everyday. I know my parents need professional help to come out of the addiction. But I do not know where to start. Please help

My doctor has prescribed me aripiprazole 5mg and olanzapine 5mg for bipolar disorder. But I feel very sleepy and low on energy. These tabs don't have any effect on my mood swings. What should I do now?

Helow sir for past 3 to 4 months i am getting into deep depression.. I am having a sort of feeling that everyone else is taking me as a joke or making a joke out of me i am feeling insulted and depressed randomly and i am also lacking confidence to speak out or to do something in public as i am feared how others would take it.. Previously i also suffered from anxiety.. Help me doc..

I joined Amazon India in feb 2014 and now after working for two and a half years, I feel drained out mentally. I don't seem to enjoy my work anymore although I shuttled to three different roles. I have been thinking to quit since March, but have been finding it tough to move due to lack of good options outside. This has impacted my health and hence Iam no longer the same person that I used to be. A lot of worrying and negative thoughts drain my energy out and that shows up in my performance at work. I have come to a point where I just cannot wait any longer. I need to take a decision just for the sake of my health. Please advise.?

I am very sensitive to how people perceive me . whenever I talk to someone except my mother I an very cautious of what to say in fact i m a bit scared to be honest if it's between 4-5 or more people. The problem is whenever I reply something foolish which I do mostly. .. I after the incident become depressed with only that sentence of mine. I regret , feel guilty, always go through self shaming cry. I don't know what to say or talk about to people with whom I don't talk on a regular basis. My mother is the person with whom I share every thing . please suggest me how should I face these situations. Why am I so awkward. It's happening since 4-5 yrs .I shouldn't be so self cautious. One more thing I would like to add of someone says something negative about me then it becomes very difficult to overcome that ( for weeks) i am not able to reply anything , stand for myself at least. It makes me very sad :'( how can I help myself and have self confidence .

I don't know why, but somehow, lying seems to be the natural solution to a situation for me. And an alarming fact about it(something which I'm sometimes quite proud of) is that I can do it pretty well and feel little or no remorse for it as a result. But this has almost gotten me into a lot of trouble off late and that's why I'm looking for help.

My mother (62 years) has been diagnosed with weak heart 2 months back through angiogram (doctor has started heart medicine and confirmed no blockages). Mother has diabetes since 12 years. My dad (68 years old) is a diabetic since 3 years and has trouble sleeping. Doctor had diagnosed spondylitis for dad since 12 years. I am 28 year old and have been living with my parents. I have stayed abroad for 10 months (parents have stayed with me for 2 months). My aunt (69 years) expired 2 days back. My mother was admitted to hospital due to low BP for 4 days. She got discharged previous Monday. I quit my job on 14th July 2016 and have received an offer for Hongkong employment (long term assignment ) I have discussed with my parents and close relatives. Parents can travel to visit me be may once in year and I will visit Bangalore every 4 months once. Parents want to me pursue this offer but are worried about how to manage without me in Bangalore. Can they mentally handle this situation
