Hello doctor, I need some information regarding cognitive behavioral therapy. I have googled it and found some informations about CBT. So It makes little sense if I ask about it in detail. I just need a very few unknown informations regarding this. My questions: Will it help in improving my personality? Will it be helpful in acquiring a strong personality? Will it cure my introvert character? Will it be helpful in curing my social phobia?...Doctor, I'm an introvert. I'm experiencing social phobia, Low self esteem and all other personality disorders. Even I feel very embarrassed to walk or stand in front of others. Just by looking at my body language, they could understand me. eg. Standing with hands folded and legs crossed, walking unstable, etc... Could all these problems get fixed by CBT? Help me. Thank you.

Hello doctor, These are following things I am scared of.. #Graveyards #Corpse #Ghosts #Evil spirits #Dark rooms #Nights #Funerals #spiritual practices #Mortuary #Hospital #Horror movies #Sea,dams, lakes,river and other water resources #Heights #Rail roads #churches,temples,mosques and other supernatural things... #In the Victorian era there was a practice of photographing dead people as they were alive in order to keep their memories forever. Recently I was exposed to these photos. Though I didn't get scared, but these photos were very disturbing. Why I got disturbed looking at this pictures? #I have also seen some real photos(not edited)in which I could see some kind of strange human like figures in some abandoned building(these buildings were abandoned because of mysterious happenings there). These photos sent shivers down the spine. Doctor, will you please provide me some informations regarding this chapter? So that I could avoid a these kind of fear attacks. Kindly help me. Thank U

Hello doctor, my problem is I'm different from others. This makes me think whether I am in good state of mind or not. Differences: #people like hot and sunny days with clear sky but I like only winter seasons, no Matter how biting the cold is and I also like monsoon or heavy rain seasons. #I wash my hands using soaps/hand wash after eating food. Others see it as a strange activity. # I gargle my mouth a few minutes after eating since I don't wanna be talking to others with a hint of food smell on me. I also want to be fresh with deodorant smell on my body and some menthol smell from mouth. Others look these things very strange. #All my friends like to play all the sports,but I don't like anything other than cricket. In TV, I watch only cricket. I play only cricket,I read only cricket related books,Even while playing video games I'm only playing cricket games,I talk only about cricket,even on YouTube my subscription is all to the cricket videos. Am I normal or should I visit a doc. ASAP
