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?
The doctor added Risperidone 0.5 with nexito 30mg .After taking it, my speech began to slurred. When I spoke to the doctor, they explained that this was a side effect and discontinued the medication. How long will it take for my speech to return to normal? It has been 10 days since I stopped the medicine. There has been some improvement, but I am worried about whether my speech will fully recover. Please help
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.

Most people come to me having already tried the obvious things. A couple of antidepressants. Maybe therapy. Often both, for years. And they arrive with a reasonable question: if one treatment didn't fix this, why would another?It's a fair worry. But it rests on an assumption I'd like to ...
Stress is a natural response to challenging situations, but when it becomes frequent or long-lasting, it can affect both your mental and physical health. While short-term stress can help you stay alert and focused, chronic stress keeps your body in a constant state of "fight or flight," leading ...
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, and often one of the last to be said out loud. People will ask how ketamine works, whether it's safe, whether it's addictive — and only near the end of the conversation, sometimes almost apologetically, "…and what does it actually ...
In India, the onset of severe mental illness like Schizophrenia is often met not with a trip to the psychiatrist, but with a pilgrimage.
