Mental Health

I am facing anger issues, panic attacks, negative thinking, emotional instability, and difficulty controlling my reactions. I often feel I am right, struggle to understand others' feelings, and my behavior is affecting my marriage and relationships. I want to change and learn how to stay calm. Should I consult a Psychiatrist, a Psychologist, or both?

I’ve almost completed 15 days of anxiety medication, but I still don’t feel okay. Even when I’m alone for a short time, and sometimes even in crowded places, my symptoms suddenly become very intense. My legs (up to my thighs) and hands start feeling numb/heavy, and I feel pressure in my head along with extreme restlessness and fear. I got full body checkups done and everything came normal. Because of that, people around me keep saying that this is “just in my mind” and that I’m only feeling anxious because I keep thinking about anxiety. Now they are also saying that if medicines are not working yet, then maybe nothing is actually wrong. After hearing all this, I’ve stopped sharing things with people because I feel misunderstood. What should I do? Is it normal for anxiety symptoms and physical sensations to continue like this even after starting treatment?

I have anxiety and depression and take Nexito regularly. My psychiatrist recently increased my Nexito dose from 15 mg to 20 mg, and I have been on 20 mg for the last 5 days. I have also been experiencing neck, shoulder, and head pain/stiffness, especially with certain movements and sometimes while sneezing. The pain becomes very irritating and increases my anxiety. Because of this, I took Etizest (Etizolam) 0.25 mg on 12 June and again on 14 June. My overall SOS usage this year has been infrequent (7 doses in 5 months and 3 doses already this month).Just to mention I live in North india particularly Chandigarh. Could the recent pain flare be the main reason for the increased anxiety and SOS use? Can increasing Nexito from 15 mg to 20 mg temporarily worsen anxiety during the first few days? At what point should I be concerned and consult my psychiatrist regarding the recent need for SOS medication?

My mother was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and she underwent a hysterectomy for it in 2024. In 2025 she had surgery for hernia.Same year my father was diagnosed with ckd and was hospitalized thrice in a period of 6 months. He is now on dialysis. With all these diagnoses and multiple hospitalizations, I have developed extreme anxiety and health problems like ibs. Even the slightest issue makes me really anxious. I am the only daughter so everything comes to me. I can't take therapy as I can't afford it right now. Please suggest something to manage my health anxiety.
