I am a patient of a psychiatrist. I went to Sion Hospital in Mumbai and met with one psychiatrist. After doing a follow-up after 6 months, another doctor said that her time period has ended. But isn't the post-graduation period for psychiatrists 3 months? Other doctors aren't taking me seriously. I want to meet that doctor again. Will she come back? Can someone tell me?
Hi ,
I have genuinely been going through depression from last few years , but now it's really started affecting my overall health. I couldn't concentrate on my work and hence I need a medical certificate for depression so that I can get a break from my work.
As there any psychiatrist who can provide me the medical certificate after diagnosis?
My brother recently started therapy for feeling anxiety and overthinking for very long time.
His symptoms
- overthinking leading to mental exhaustion
- anxiety when triggered due to certain things
- mood shift sometimes
- difficulty in making decisions
- minimal OCD symptoms but visible only when anxious
Therapist suggested to visit psychiatrist. Psychiatrist suggested to start bupropion XL150 for 3 months.
Suggested approach by them- use medicine for some initial months and continue therapy and leave medicine once therapy is at advanced stage and also naturally positive habits are built
My brother is anxious about building medicine dependence? We don't want that at all
Also is it possible to stop using the medicine immediately after 3 months? What should be done? Should we take second opinion on the medicine and dosage and usage?
Since I heard couple train accident last year, from then I am getting fear to travel in train. And this fear for my 3 yrs kid. If I take with him in train, I am getting fear and anxiety. Fear does not come if I go alone. If I book train ticket before 1 month, then for that 1 month on daily basis I keep on thinking to cancel the ticket and go by flight. Flight journey is absolutely fine for me. But sometime it is costly so have to think of train. What shall I do? Shall I stop taking train and go by flight? If not if I have train journey with my kid after 1 month, then how to tackle this 1 month of time? Please advice. I am helpless by these sever symptoms of fear. Any tips would be highly helpful. To reduce the anxiety shall I stop travelling by train and go by flight?
I have never faced any issue in train travel. But since there were couple of big train accident on last year, from that day I am getting fear to travel in train. And that fear is not coming for me, it is coming for my small kid. For my small kid (3 years), I am getting panic and fear to travel in train. I know train journey is safest as compare to other mode, but still I am getting very worried. I am feeling comfortable to travel in flight only. But it is always not easy to travel by flight considering flat ticket price. Please suggest what should I do? Shall
i travel in train? Or considering my situation it is advisable to travel in flight? Kindly help in suggesting. Thanks.
