I have been suffering from severe OCD and Anxiety for the last 5 years. It feels like a never ending battle. I have tried all the SSRIs along with some antipsychotic and other antidepressants made for OCD only like clomipramine, but I never got the relief I wanted but given me all the side-effects, I became unhealthy and gained 20 kgs of weight. Everything feels like a battle to me from locking the door to even paying someone or even talking with someone. Everything feels unreal I can't process anything normally. Is there any solution? Is there any new treatment available for these? I have also tried therapy.

I’ve been feeling emotionally numb and disconnected for a while, with very low motivation and almost no sense of contentment even after achieving things like getting multiple job offers. I experience frequent overthinking, but sometimes my mind goes completely blank or numb, which affects my mood and ability to function. Recently, I’ve also noticed memory issues, difficulty focusing, and even trouble recalling words or conversations. I feel constantly mentally exhausted, irritable, and physically drained, along with dizziness at times. On top of this, I’m dealing with a stressful family environment where I feel controlled and unable to have personal space, which adds to my frustration and sense of being stuck. I’m confused about my career decisions, feel overwhelmed by everything happening at once, and often feel like I’m not in control of my life or moving forward, even though I am. Overall, I feel detached, tired, and unsure how to manage my thoughts, emotions, and situation.
I have had really bad anxiety and depression issues while growing up, to the point that when I get too stressed I sometimes I get sleep paralysis.
I have also recently read that it overlaps with ADHD.
I want to get a test done to get a proper diagnosis for whether I have ADHD/Anxiety/Depression or any other issue that I am unaware of. I would rather not do the test in person due to unavailability of time and associated costs. Could the diagnosis be provided online?
If so, how should I proceed?
Furthermore, who exactly should I consult- psychiatrist or psychologist or counselor or therapist? Within the current circumstance as I am college student with super hectic schedule , I do not have adequate for engaging in weekly therapy. How should I proceed then, especially if I require any meds if there is a diagnosis?
I go to Government hospital psychiatrist, I have ADHD, I tried Methylphenidate Didn't work and Atomoxetine caused Urine retention, now I wanna try Guanfacine . if Guanfacine available in india, especially in mumbai, so I will ask my dr to prescribe Guanfacine.
But I searched a lot,I Didn't find Guanfacine anywhere. It shows I need to import ,import is the only option.
Where can I find Guanfacine in Mumbai?
Is it available in Mumbai?
Available or need to import?
