How to Cure my Social Anxiety ?

Male | 21

This is when you feel very afraid or nervous in social situations. You might get sweaty, have a tremble, or find it difficult to talk to people. Social anxiety can be caused by a combination of genetics and things that have happened to you. Getting therapy and counseling will teach you how to control your emotions and become more self-assured. Exercise as well as relaxation techniques can also work wonders.

I hv stop sizomant after 45 days and facing some withdrawal side effects....withdrawal symptoms means what.. I changed dr..he gave toficalm, arip mt 2, nexito ls, trymptor... Taken 3 days, I m confused....as not getting sleep...and saw in Google arip mt 2 has serious side effects. Can I restart sizomant at half tablet after stopping above medicine

Female | 43

Withdrawal symptoms are the body's reaction to the sudden cessation of the drug. Confusion, insomnia (the inability to sleep), and anxiety are just a few of the usual symptoms. In order to deal with these symptoms, it is very important to gradually taper off the medications than to abruptly stop them. However, using sizomant at a lower dose might also help relieve the withdrawal symptoms, but seek medical advice first.

Hello. I am a doctor myself. I write to seek help about my sister. 34 years old, married and living with husband with my mother, having constant auditory hallucinations since 2014, took antipsychotics, was not open to CBT, there is no improvement, rather weight gain and more depression. She has had a bunch of traumatic events since childhood and all her past villains (teacher who locked her in school at age 7 in the dark till 8PM) (an on and off absent father and his brothers) (ex husband) and God knows who, are the ones who are prompting fearful instigations in her causing her to behave erratically, fear of brainmapping and planning to kill and harm her body after mom is no more, all of this in her auditory hallucinations. There is constant crying out of unrealistic fear. What I hoped to seek from you is if you can manage to clinically hypnotise her, reach into every fear she has and nullify them at subconscious level, giving her a feel to look forward to a positive purposeful life ahead. Most other hypnotists are using Hinduism and past life karma concepts, my mother is not comfortable with it, we are moslems. Sister is on medications, prescribed by Manasa Mind Clinic but mother has to slip into some drink she refuses to take if she is told what it is for.. I would really like to discuss more if you have time, before i make an appointment for her.

Female | 34

It seems that your sister is really disturbed by her hallucinations caused by auditory perception and old psychological trauma. These symptoms may come from such terrible things she has faced and factors that emphasize her experience. Hypnosis requires a holistic approach; thus, I advocate her healing through the system. I endorse that you think of obtaining a multidisciplinary consultation by a psychiatrist for medication management and a psychologist for trauma-informed therapy. Like we have mentioned before, her therapist could offer her a space to endorse her beliefs while implementing the new ways of coping. Getting the help of the mental health professionals is the key; therefore, you need to consult a healthcare provider that can give her the right direction for her health.

Does levonorgestrel effective if I'm under antidepressants medications which include epilepsy medication also

Female | 22

Levonorgestrel is generally a reliable emergency contraceptive pill, but there are certain medications, for example, drugs used to treat epilepsy or depression, which might make its effect weaker. These interactions may also be the cause of the contraception not working properly. It’s crucial to spot any discomfort you have during this period including the unexpected bleeding or the menstrual changes and you have to monitor the situation. I recommend that you discuss the medications that you are using with a healthcare provider.
