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?
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

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 ...
It's one of the most common questions I'm asked about TMS, and often the one people feel most awkward raising. Patients will ask how it works, whether it hurts, whether it's safe — and then, a little hesitantly, "…and what does it actually cost?"It's a fair question and it deserves a ...
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 ...
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 ...
