I am a 24-year-old male seeking an evaluation for Adult ADHD. Looking back at my life patterns, I strongly suspect my brain operates on an executive dysfunction and dopamine-deficit model. My core symptoms are:
All-or-Nothing Focus: I struggle heavily to focus on routine or uninteresting tasks. Even if a study topic interests me initially, I abandon it the moment the novelty fades.
Hyperfocus & 0-or-100 Mindset: When a task excites me, I get intensely locked in, forgetting food and sleep. My lifestyle has no middle ground—either I give 0% effort or 100% flawless perfection (e.g., in dressing or projects).
Thriving in Crisis: I am entirely fearless and highly functional in chaotic, high-risk, or fast-paced situations (like high-speed driving or hard physical challenges) where others panic. I feel naturally alert only under high pressure.
Dr i know this maybe strange or very rare ocd but i don't why i am so much obsessed with my private parts like i always think like that i am bathing in open and what other people will think about my private parts, what will be there reaction etc. This ocd is not any gender centric or age centric like if some small boys are bathing openly then also i think same about this that i am bathing naked and what they will think on seeing my private areas. Real life example, yesterday i visited ganga ghat and there was a boy of around age 10 he is changing his clothes naked and he weared first tshirt to hide some of his private areas and then some of his elder sister and aunt putting his tshirt up to make him feel shame and laughing just by watching this and imagining myself in place of him my penis starts leaking some liquid. I mean i not have any sexual thought towards any gender but seeing myself or any boy naked i imagine myself there and that thinking disturbing me whole day.
My husband is 37 years old. He stops drinking alcohol for about 2–3 weeks, but then starts again and drinks heavily day and night for 1–2 weeks. He genuinely tries to quit, but relapses repeatedly. During drinking periods, he has sleep disturbances, high blood pressure, uses abusive language, and makes inappropriate calls to relatives and friends.
He was previously given medication for alcohol withdrawal/craving, which helped for about a month, but the habit returned after stopping the medicine.
I am currently 5 months pregnant and living with him. I would like to know:
Which specialist should we consult?
Are there medicines that can help prevent relapse long-term?
Does he need counseling or de-addiction treatment?
What is the best treatment approach for this pattern of alcohol use?
Thank you.
Actually I have a bad temper and anger issues and doc suggested escatiloparm 5mg as I have baby of 7 months and iam breastfeeding.. there are some kind of family issues and my work pressure I don't want to use medication are there any ways to get over my anger by doing any physical activities?
Why do doctors not prescribe PHARMACOGENOMICS (psychiatric drugs) tests for their patients?
I have consulted a couple of psychiatrists ON&OFF. I questioned a few but they did not seem convinced about this test.
I have suffered terribly by the side-effects of psychotropic drugs. I am quite skeptical & scared now to go for the TRAIL & ERROR of the medication treatment. For most people it works & for a few like me they have to suffer badly & it seems hard to find that one drug which will work.
