Psychiatry

Psychiatry refers to a field of medicine focused specifically on the mind, aiming to study, prevent, and treat mental disorders in humans. In 1621, Oxford University mathematician, astrologer, and scholar Robert Burton published one of the earliest treatises on mental illness, The Anatomy of Melancholy. Geriatric psychiatry emphasizes the biological and psychological aspects of normal aging, the psychiatric impact of acute and chronic physical illness. The biomedical approach to psychiatry examines signs and symptoms and compares them with diagnostic criteria.

Chronic Anxiety and Procrastination

I have been diagnosed with Dysthymia and OCD earlier by a psychiatrist. I have been struggling with chronic procrastination for more than 2 years now and it has affected my professional and personal life a lot. I have tried Behavioural Therapy as well a while ago for depression. But things have not changed. There are a lot of factors affecting this including low self esteem, negative environment/pressure from family, lack of interest in daily life, etc. I have been stuck in this cycle of guilt and avoidance for more than 2 years now and it's taking a huge toll on me now. It's affecting my personal and financial goals as well as my professional performance.
