Tics disorder

Hello Doctor, My brother has had a tic disorder(5years),he is now 15.  His MRI and EEG were normal. 2-3years ago, he took medicines for about 6 months, which reduced his tics, but he gained significant weight, started spitting saliva. so the medicines were stopped ,we scared. about a month ago, his tics were mild, mainly occasional hand movements. About a month ago, we restarted treatment with Arkmin and RPN tablets. Around 28 days later, as the medicines were finishing, his tics suddenly became much more severe. He developed shoulder movements and mild vocal tics.. We revisited to doctor, and now he is taking sizodon 5 mg and Arkamin.Could missing his medicines for 3 days have caused such a severe increase in his tics? Before restarting this course of medicines, his tics were much milder, so we are wondering if the recent worsening could be related to the medicines, stopping them suddenly, or another factor. please help us out.

Stress handle and worring

I have been taking treatment for Anxiety, OCD, and GAD for around 8 years. Currently, I am on Bupron XL 150 mg and Dicorate ER 250 mg. Several times, after discussing with my psychiatrist, I tried reducing or stopping medication because I felt better. However, symptoms such as anxiety, excessive worrying, irritability, anger outbursts, overthinking, and difficulty handling stress returned, especially during work pressure or personal challenges. I often worry about the future, family responsibilities, career, and past mistakes. This makes me feel as if I have become dependent on medication, and I sometimes feel trapped. My questions are: Is long-term medication common in Anxiety/OCD/GAD? How do doctors differentiate between medication dependence and symptom relapse? Is it possible to safely taper off these medicines in the future? Can Bupron XL or Dicorate ER cause hair loss, hair thinning, dark spots, or pigmentation? Would appreciate guidance from psychiatrists and others with

What Is Neurofeedback Therapy? How Brain Training Actually Works

Patients usually arrive at the idea of neurofeedback in one of two states: hopeful, having read that it can "retrain your brain," or skeptical, having read the exact same thing and concluded it sounds too good to be true. Both instincts are reasonable. Neurofeedback is a real, decades-old ...
