I’ve had trouble falling asleep for as long as I can remember. No matter how tired I am, it takes me at least an hour or more to fall asleep. My mind keeps racing even when I try to stop thinking, and my eyes often feel too dry or flicker involuntarily when I close them. I only fall asleep when I reach complete exhaustion. This has severely affected my daily life, including my ability to attend school. I’ve spoken to doctors before, and they suggested it might be a mental health issue, but I haven’t been able to get proper help. What kind of specialist should I see, and what could be causing this?

Female | 16

It's understandable to feel frustrated with your sleep difficulties. The symptoms you describe, such as racing thoughts and eye discomfort, could suggest underlying issues like anxiety or sleep disorders. Consulting a sleep specialist or a mental health professional may be beneficial, as they can assess your situation comprehensively. Techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) or relaxation exercises might help. It's vital to prioritize your well-being, so please consider reaching out to a psychiatrist who can guide you toward effective treatment options.

I’ve stopped wanting to eat and drink I no longer feel hungry or thirsty and this has been going on for a very long time (months) I’m 15 years old what does this mean?

Male | 15

The cause of the whole thing can be physical illnesses like depression, thyroid, or dysbiosis. It will be the best thing to do is to talk to your parents, family, or any other adults that you trust so they can later take you to a psychiatrist.
