Health Q&A
General health knowledge
I'm currently a 19 y/o corporate employee and I joined corporate in March 2026. I used to feel lost , tired and exhausted everytime even after full sleep earlier as well but after the job things have got a bit more upscaled as I'm living alone here and it's a night shift that I work . I don't know if it's the schedule or maybe I'm not able to fit in the corporate I don't know. I feel very lonely and often find myself overthinking and panicking and crying in my room frequently or stressing over millions of things. And from past few weeks all i dream of is me working in the company and making mistakes. The pressure is getting heavy and I have lost interest in my hobbies that I loved to do . My food habits have got worsen too . And recently I found I gained sudden weight out of nowhere. I have lost motivation to do things and all I wish for is to just keep laying in my bed cause I'm forever tired . I stopped interacting with people that maybe its a social withdrawal. I'm anxious alltime.
Depression stress
In depression (primary) or secondary ( due to any physical reasons), inflammation, migraines etc, is there any loss of brain cells or no? The physical changes caused by depression or the neurotransmitters imbalances, are reversible or no? Is there any damage or loss of brain cells as I can see some websites claiming that depression due to inflammation kills brain cells. How quickly can one recover from this or no? Please guide correctly. Also, in physical and mental stress and loss of sleep, breathing becomes shallow. Does this mean less oxygen is reaching the brain? Please guide. Does it permanently lower cognitive abilities or no? Also, do psychiatric medicines and rtms cause any harm?
Melancholic, negative thoughts
My daughter Aparajita,who has just completed her B. Com, complains having unclear evacuation and abdominal pain sometimes. All her pathological reports, ultrasound are normal. We have consulted Physian also, who okayed everything checking all the body parameters. She is an intelligent student. But anytime when there is tendency of flatulence and abdominal pain, she becomes sad and negative. We are regularly trying to make her positive. She wish to do MBA, but she is losing confidence that everything will not be normal when she may stay away from home for study. Please prescribe medication and necessary advice.
