Treatment for Psychosis

Pharmacogenomics - PSYCHIATRIC Drug Test

Why do doctors not prescribe PHARMACOGENOMICS (psychiatric drugs) tests for their patients? I have consulted a couple of psychiatrists ON&OFF. I questioned a few but they did not seem convinced about this test. I have suffered terribly by the side-effects of psychotropic drugs. I am quite skeptical & scared now to go for the TRAIL & ERROR of the medication treatment. For most people it works & for a few like me they have to suffer badly & it seems hard to find that one drug which will work.

I think I have OCD

I think a lot on anything. Literally on anything. There are lots of bad thoughts in my mind. Before doing anything I think it will be wrong and I always think about the worst case which can happen. I do panic and tention on very small things and those things which can never happen. Even I know the worst case will never happen, I can not stop myself from thinking about that. I am in great trouble, please help me by giving me suggestions what to do. I have ruined my work life balance and study for this, even I have ruined relationships with my family and friends for this bad habit.

Gf acts overly sexual sometimes

Hi, I met this girl for arrange marriage by my parents.We recently had our engagement few days ago, her attitude has changed since then wanting me to treat like priority which is fine initially but she gets overly horny sometimes and tries to dominate me saying I'm hers only.My female friends wanted to meet her so I took her with me, she is hugging my hands tightly in front of them that I got really embarrassed in front of my friends, she lip locks me forcefully in her house when her parents are in home. Few more things have happened in public. I have said to her in nice words on how to behave when we are not alone, she has took this casually and tease me, I'm not her puppy and I don't want my friends & people to think I have got wife who is sexy horny slut.Having said that, apart from this attitude.She is gorgeous and most intelligent person in my life, I allow her to wear modern short, revealing dresses etc.How to make her understand don't act like a slut and how to behave in public?
