Mental Health

When I stopped antidepressants, i lost sleep for 3 days and then when I woke up on the 4th day with little sleep,I developed neck stiffness/cervical spondylosis spasms, headaches, photophobia and sound sensitivity as well. Lost weight since I had gained lot of weight on meds. Also had digestive upset etc. went sleepless for a very long period. Memory affected, and focus affected. For neck stiffness, cervical spondylosis, was suggested physio, but I got okay with alternative medicine. Gained okay weight now, can sleep a bit with meds. Did the neck stiffness, cervical spondylosis, neck spasms affect blood supply to the brain? Is this the cause for insomnia, memory issues or anything to do with the brain or no? Please let me know. Can sleep with meds which had stopped working in between. Severe neck pain and stiffness was there but on examination by ortho, painless ROM.Severe insomnia that was never there earlier and even memory issues that weren't present earlier. Guide correctly please.

Few years ago I was biiten by a dog mistakenly I went to normal medical store to take anti Rabies vaccine he administer booster on wrong dates/schedule. When I get to know that my anxiety reached very high I started reading about rabies and got to how serious this disease after that I get myself tested rabies anti bodies test got consultation from v doctor that problem solved but after some month I got bitten by rat and after few year bat bitten me so now I am very much feared of rabies whenever a dog passes nearby me I can't differentiate whether he touched or not even when I go outside I turn backward again again to check whether any dog is coming or not .same in other area when I go to hospital if I see red dot I feared that this is blood I may catch any std if I touched that if anybody touched me I feared what if they cut in hand and from that I may get disease.So is this health anxiety  100% curable? My cousin is psychiatrist so should I consult psychologist 1st or psychiatrist?

Hi dear doctors, I have been on medicine for more than a year. I am a type 1 diabetic for 12 years. My weight has also increased to 100kgs. My medicines are Mirtaz 7.5, Nexito 20, Lamitor od 100, Sizodon LS (risperidone)  And Oxetol 150. I feel that I am having alot of medicines that is why asking for a second opinion. The psychiatrist described MAD but I feel they have given medicines on the basis of symptoms and they don't know what exactly I am facing. Even after taking mirtaz at 8:30 pm, I wake up at night and my sleep is in pieces (this has happened 2 times), My memory is also deteriorating. When I wake up at night even after taking medicines, I take extra mirtazapine and Lorazepam. I feel  Please advice.

I'm a 31 year old girl, I always see myself depressed and stressed, overthinking a lot, can do much work, avoid being in a crowded place, I feel anxious before any meeting or in crowds, I'm so depressed and I can't understand what to do actually.

I'm a student and don't have a lot of money . And I'm keeping the issues about my mental health a secret from parents. So my question is how can a student get cheap prescription and medicines for mental disorders , to be precise mainly for depression and a bit of insomnia . I have been prescribed medicine before but I have moved away to a metero city and it's soo much costly .

Hello doc , I am a female 36 years old. I often feel very nervous when I travel afraid of happening  something to me. Usually more in the car or any enclosed space. While traveling I feel a lot and think continuously about it instead of diverting my thoughts. It leads to sleepless nights sometimes. I often feel sensations in the body. I don't understand what is this happening to me. I used to travel before but nothing happened. But now from few time ago I am feeling like this so I avoid traveling and going out because of this fear that something will happen to me.How do I get rid of this problem. I fear sometimes that I will get a heartattack or sometimes the outside traffic noice also threatens me.
