If a 13 yo who had acute anxiety episode with distressing thoughts like what if some negative creature existed, what if someone did harm to me, for 4 days, first time in life, taken to psychiatrist on 5th day, who counselled and gave etilaam 0.25 for 7 days and sos and ssri flunil 10 for 45 days... he has taken 30 days of ssri till date in morning 10am. His anxiety went off immediately after a day of etilaam although he had drowsiness and slightly low bp from it. He is taking ssri now but he has been having disturbed sleep and daytime yawning and light fatigue especially in evening... he's unable to focus and study for more than 8 to 10 minutes in a stretch, he starts yawning and takes break. So focus seems to have reduced... also slightly hyperactive behavior at times. He used to study till late night before but now seems fatigue and focus less but he is enjoying watching shows, searching online different things etc. Is this long term ssri unnecessary for him as he has no anxiety now
I am taking oleanz plus and trinicalm plus for my symptoms like heavy head, uncontrollable thoughts, memory problem, depressive thoughts , heavy head from 12 years...
but last year , i came to know about supplements from youtube...so i started taking supplements such as omega3, d3 and many more... my main focus was on memory supplements...my health went from 10% to 80% in 12 months...
but now i am tired of taking supplements with these medicines ... because uncontrollable thinking is irritating me...

Hello Doctor, I would like your guidance. Today was my first day at a new company. About two hours before reaching the company, I took 20 mg of Inderal by splitting a 40 mg tablet. I have social anxiety and performance anxiety. Usually, when I have to talk to female colleagues or seniors, my heart beats very fast and I struggle to speak.
Today, I still felt a little nervous when I met a female colleague, but my heart did not race, and I was able to speak calmly instead of talking very fast. I also felt much less afraid while talking to my seniors. This made me feel much more confident.
Based on this experience, I realized that if my anxiety is controlled, I can perform much better. Does this mean Inderal is helping with my performance anxiety? Is it safe or appropriate to use Inderal 20 mg before important work situations, or should it only be taken under a doctor's specific instructions?
I cannot afford a paid consultation at the moment, so I would be very grateful for your guidance.
I am not feeling well for a long time, I get irritated easily, my mood is also upset most of the time, get angry on the smallest things, i also have a habit of repeating things in my mind like checking the things i have done, from a few years i also take long time in taking shower or in the washroom, few days ago i also had acute diarrhoea around 15 days & my periods also last only for two days this month, i have a skin eczema problem also from past 4 or 5 years so my question is should I visit a mental health doctor .
Hello Doctor, I have a question. I don't feel afraid in crowded places, I can travel alone and talk to people normally. However, I feel anxious only when I have to talk to professionals like HR, managers, or during interviews because I feel I am being judged. Could this be performance anxiety rather than social anxiety? I would appreciate your opinion. Thank you.
