Psychological Counselling

My mother is having difficulty sleeping at night. She takes a long time to fall asleep and her sleep quality is not good. Sometimes she either wakes up in between or does not feel well-rested in the morning. This has been happening for the past 25 days. There is no major pain/fever. She does have sugar from last 10 years and getting regular treatment from a well known dr. She never behaved like this but from last 20-25 days she keeps on saying she feels anxious, can't sleep whole night and get weird thoughts And not talking to us properly whereas she used to speak alot. Could you please guide us on the possible cause and treatment?

I’ve been struggling with compulsive masturbation for the last 6 years. I genuinely don’t want to keep doing it, but I keep failing. I don’t want to waste more years like this. I go to a government hospital for mental health help. There are intern psychologists there, and most of them are young females. I’ve been thinking about asking one of them to explain my situation to my parents (they are 65+), and maybe help them understand so they can support me. But I’m unsure: Is it okay to ask an intern to do this? Would female interns feel uncomfortable discussing this topic with my elderly parents? Do interns even do this kind of family explanation/support? So if I do it my parents can shout on me I’m just trying to take a serious step and involve my parents so I can finally deal with this properly. Looking for honest opinions or experiences.

I have taken almost 18+ anti rabies vaccine for the last 6 months , recently completed 4 doses on 15th of February 2026. Every time I go for a walk outside, when a stray dog passes by, i constantly overthink and Look around my legs whether the dog has bitten me or scratched me even though I didn't feel any pain. I come back home and wash both my legs for 15 mins with soap and water just in case the dog might have licked, scratched or bitten me and I didn't feel anything. If I have a open wound on my legs caused by some other accident. Whenever I am around dogs or cats or any mammal I suddenly think , did the dog lick my wound and didn't pay attention to it. The thought of dying by rabies just triggers my mind to go and have an ARV. I have noticed this pattern after taking the vaccine and I am tired of this cycle. Recently I even did an Rabies Antibody test where my IU/ml was greater than 4.0 which means I have lot of antibodies in my body but still I took 4 doses of arv again.help

Male, late 20s, India. Sharing this based on a recent formal IQ report (attached). Lifelong struggles academically and functionally — slow processing, poor working memory, difficulty sustaining jobs despite effort. Couldn’t complete graduation. Also had very poor motor coordination since childhood (sports, cycling, physical tasks). I’m extremely weak in manual/physical jobs compared to computer-based or simple skill-based work. As per this cognitive profile and functional history, how would clinicians interpret the overall picture in the Indian context? Would appreciate insights on functional implications and realistic support pathways. Any professional advice would really help.

I’m looking for professional support to help me address my dependence on pornography and masturbation. I would like to work with a nonjudgmental therapist with whom I can speak openly about my experiences, including my arousal patterns and the behaviors that contribute to my addiction. I’m specifically seeking audio-only consultations, as I don’t feel very comfortable discussing this over video calls. Late evening sessions would work best for me due to my work schedule, and that’s also the time when I tend to struggle most with urges and intrusive thoughts. It’s important to me to find someone who is compassionate, open-minded, and able to help me open up by asking thoughtful questions and taking the time to understand my patterns and triggers.
