Mantal health emotional trauma

I am seeking psychological help because I have experienced persistent overthinking, intrusive memories, anxiety, and emotional distress for the past 10 years. While I was asleep, my brother secretly accessed my phone, read my private chats, and viewed my personal photos without my consent. During that time, I was in an emotionally abusive relationship, and a married friend (my friend's brother) supported me in leaving it. I had shared one non-explicit photo with him, but my brother assumed we had an inappropriate relationship. Without asking me for an explanation, he told family members and relatives that I had a relationship with a married man and questioned my character. Recently, he repeated these allegations to his fiancée, showed my personal photo to others without my permission, verbally abused me, and continued making defamatory statements. Since then, I frequently relive these events, feel betrayed, anxious, and emotionally overwhelmed. what should i do.

Bipolar+ anxiety disorder

Hello, i have been diagnosed as bipolar iii+ GAD, and i am on escitalopram, lithium, lamotrigine and propranolol since 6 months, i am an mbbs doctor and i had taken escitalopram 20 mg for social anxiety issues in 2020 but then after three months i slowly quit those meds, after quitting i have developed sexual issues, physical symptoms and mood issues. Now that i am on these meds i have seen improvement in mood and social anxiety, but i still have sexual issues like low libido and possibly erectile dysfunction, also physical symptoms like fibromyalgia random muscle pain, pins and needle sensation and some ibs like symptoms. Unfortunately I cannot increase escitalopram bcz it causes me to switch and benzos like etizolam makes me drowsy. I also tried agents like tofisopam and buspirone but they didn't help. Now what should i do in such cases. Also i had really like really high Libido, also due to these meds currently i have lost that rage and motivation, is PSSD real? EMA is saying yes.

Neurofeedback for Adhd: What the Evidence Actually Says

Few treatments in mental health are marketed as confidently as neurofeedback for ADHD. Search the phrase and you'll find clinics promising to "fix" attention, "retrain the ADHD brain," and reduce or even replace medication — often with a price tag to match. If you're a parent weighing options ...

Neurofeedback for Anxiety, Trauma and Ptsd: How It Works

Anxiety, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder all share one thing under the surface: a nervous system that has learned to stay on high alert. Neurofeedback is one of the tools we use to help the brain unlearn that pattern. It is not a cure, and it is not a replacement for therapy or medical ...

How Does Ketamine Work for Depression? a Psychiatrist Explains

The most common question I'm asked about ketamine isn't whether it works. It's why it works at all.It's a fair question. Ketamine is an old medication — it has been on hospital shelves as an anesthetic since the 1970s. It has nothing structurally in common with the antidepressants most ...

When Antidepressants Aren't Working — a Psychiatrist's Decision Tree for the Next Step

By the time most patients come into my office and use the words "nothing is working," they've been trying for years. Two SSRIs. Maybe an SNRI. A round of bupropion.
