31. Male. 5'5".77 kg. Taking invega sustenna 150 mg monthly depot since June 2024 and taloprex since last week. My doctor says invega works region specific and won't affect dopamine activity in regions like prefrontal cortex. But AI says it blocks dopamine throughout the brain. Who is correct?

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 have severe OCD. i was taking uvox cr 200 mg, risdone ls at night and clonotril 0.5 mg at night but to no effect. So my doctor changed the medicines and gave me serta 100 mg twice a day, clonil sr 75 mg, risdone ls twice a day and rexipra forte 20 mg at night. What i have seen is that except risdone ls all 3 contain serotonin. Will my body be able to process this much serotonin? Should i take this medicines or change it? Pls help me

In India, the onset of severe mental illness like Schizophrenia is often met not with a trip to the psychiatrist, but with a pilgrimage. When a young mind begins to fracture, families searching for answers frequently turn to faith healers, Babas driven by a cultural belief. As a Psychiatrist in ...
Patients often come to me having heard the phrase "brain mapping test" from a friend, a wellness centre, or a quick search online — and they usually arrive with the same two questions: What is it, exactly? And will it tell me what's wrong with my brain?Both are fair questions, and both ...
