First time Anxiety Ocd like in teen boy
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
Clarification
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.

Are You Solving Problems or Just Replaying Them?
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 ...

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 ...
