How can I get relief from overthinking and stress? It’s really disturbing me. May be it's ocd! 😢 Help

Hello doctor, I have been dealing with OCD/self-awareness issues for the past few years. My mind constantly analyzes my body, thoughts and behavior, especially around people. For example, when someone I know comes toward me, I start thinking: when to make eye contact, when to look away, whether to smile, what to say, how long to talk, and whether I am behaving normally.

Sir/Ma’am, I am really struggling with my social anxiety, and it is affecting my job and daily life.

Taking Desvenlafaxine (Dveniz) for ~5 years (currently 50 mg ) and tried therapy earlier but not benefited. Main symptoms: social, performance and situational anxiety, day time sleepiness ,fear of judgment, hesitation while speaking in groups/meetings, persistent internal anxiety , overthinking, brain fog, poor attention/concentration, distractibility, forgetfulness, careless mistakes, slow processing, mental fatigue, procrastination, low self esteem, irritability, low confidence ,impulsive decisions, emotional impulsivity, occasional blurting out answers and losing things. These symptoms significantly affect my work and daily functioning. I would like evaluation for adult ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, sleep-related disorders, and other possible causes of brain fog/fatigue, along with advice on further treatment options.

Husband and I were facing some mental health issues. So I consulted the doc for myself as he is not comfortable with psychiatry. The doctor suggested Tryptomer 25mg. Husband too started as he got better with the medicine..after 2 weeks he tapered down to 17.5mg then after 10 days to 10mg. Now, he is again facing issues in his health and lost interest in talking, walking, running etc. He is not ready to go to the doctor for the same. So, can I get the advice for him. What should I do with his medicine. Should I tell him to continue with 10mg or should he increase the mg? Please help.
