The doctor added Risperidone 0.5 with nexito 30mg .After taking it, my speech began to slurred. When I spoke to the doctor, they explained that this was a side effect and discontinued the medication. How long will it take for my speech to return to normal? It has been 10 days since I stopped the medicine. There has been some improvement, but I am worried about whether my speech will fully recover. Please help
Doctor, can reducing the physical symptoms of anxiety also help reduce psychological anxiety or fear?
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
Hello Doctor, . I have severe anxiety with frequent panic attacks. I also have significant mood swings and several other symptoms that make me concerned about bipolar disorder, not just mood swings alone. I have never been formally diagnosed, but I would like to be properly evaluated for bipolar disorder or any other psychiatric condition. I have also experienced obsessive thoughts/behaviors and have had suicidal thoughts in the past. Whenever I cry intensely, become very anxious, or get angry, I sometimes become unconscious for about 3-5 minutes. During these episodes I can hear everything happening around me but cannot open my eyes or move my body. I breathe normally. I also have persistent diplopia (double vision). I underwent eye surgery, but it did not improve. My ophthalmologist told me the cause is likely neurological rather than an eye problem. Recently, I accidentally overdosed on 200 mg amitriptyline.
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.

Have you ever spent hours thinking about a problem, only to feel more stressed and no closer to a solution? That's because replaying a problem is different from solving it. Rumination keeps your mind stuck in a loop of "Why did this happen?" or "What if things go wrong?" without leading to any ...
One of the most common frustrations I hear about TMS is the schedule. Conventional TMS for depression works — but it asks a lot: a session almost every weekday for four to six weeks, often 20 to 36 visits in all. For someone holding down a job, travelling from another city, or simply exhausted ...
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 ...
"Many adults with undiagnosed ADHD develop highly efficient coping mechanisms that sustain their professional functioning for years. However, when chronic low-grade depression is layered over this neurodevelopmental disorder, executive processing can falter—leading to severe cognitive fatigue, ...
