Do I have depression and anxiety symptoms?

Patient's Query

I feel like I'm useless at life. I'm also afraid of my future. I feel like I'm dying. I feel like life is useless. I have nightmares.

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel

Feeling useless, afraid, and having nightmares can sometimes be signs of anxiety or depression. These conditions are more common than you might think and can make everything seem overwhelming. But there are ways to help you feel better. First things first, it's essential to talk to someone you trust about how you're feeling. Seeking support from a psychiatrist or counselor or therapist, can also make a big difference. R

I am 16 year old boy and having mental and physical weakness in body. I masturbate a daily one time from 8 month. I don't like to talk with people nor even feel like connection with anyone. My sleep cycle is heavily disturbed that's why I sleep in day and awaken all night even though I don't want to do this.

Male | 16

Masturbating daily is normal but feeling weak and disconnected isn't. Lack of energy and disturbed sleep can be linked to many causes, like stress or depression. I recommend talking to someone you trust, like a parent or a school counselor, to get some help and support.

I smoked a lot of thc oil daily many times and I’m wondering how long it will stay in my urine

Male | 23

Marijuana high stuff called THC that brings about a high mood can stick in your urine for a while. If you have smoked a lot of THC oil, it could have stuck in your urine for up to 30 days. The symptoms can vary but may include problems with memory, thinking, and mood. The solution is to run those with THC out of the system and help with some water intake to get flushed out.

I sent my friend to the hospital as she took Ativan and trazodone together will she be able to walk ok

Female | 26

Combining Ativan and trazodone can induce excessive sleepiness and instability in walking. As a result, a person may experience difficulties in walking and an increased likelihood of falling. There are some symptoms to be on the lookout for: extreme drowsiness, confusion, and dizziness. If your friend has taken these two medications together, it is crucial to stay with them and assist them in walking if necessary to avoid any accidents. Taking such combinations of medicines is not always advisable; hence you are advised to avoid it.

I am feeling very isolated and alone today. I am feeling that the worl has kicked me out.

Female | 13

These feelings may have various origins, such as stress, experiencing life changes, or lack of social interaction. It's necessary to do the things you like, connect to other people, and try out different hobbies to distinguish them. Physical exercise and the right daily plan can also brighten your day. If these feelings remain, I seriously suggest that you talk to a healthcare professional who can give you their enduring love and encouragement.

I do everything but mentally disturbed everytime I get stressed and it's not easy for me to quit the masterbation and porn addiction I am always confused with my inner stuckness like that don't do anything I want concentrate other work but the fear of interaction anxiety I feel alone everytime.

Male | 25

There is a high likelihood of such feelings when stress is the underlying cause and leads to developing habits that seem very tough to break, for instance, the usage of pornography or masturbation. This is indeed a good initial step. To aid you in your stress reduction, you might consider employing some mindfulness techniques, for instance, some easy ones like deep breathing or meditation. Other things like regular physical exercise and the company of social people can be helpful as well. If continued feelings of confusion and anxiety exist, I am advising to consult a healthcare specialist for a collection of personalized services and support.

Hi I am 29 years old and a female I have acute insomnia and don’t have the funds to find out which medication can make me sleep, I’ve tried Adco zolpidem (I need to take 3 to sleep, and it doesn’t keep me asleep) and dormonoct and neither have worked. Please advise me on what medication is the strongest and will help me sleep through the night

Female | 29

You're going through ataxic insomnia. Insomnia is the condition of the person who finds it difficult to sleep. It may occur due to stress, worries, or illnesses. Because Adco Zolpidem and Dormonal Act have not worked for you, I would recommend the try of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that the body naturally produces and it is responsible for controlling the daily and monthly rhythms. It is over-the-counter and besides, it might also help you in getting a full night's sleep.

My son is suffering from moderate ocd but not able to control compulsions

Male | 16

Moderate OCD may mean he cannot stop the repetitive thoughts or actions he has. Common symptoms such as compulsive handwashing, constantly checking things, or being orderly can be present. Ancient aliens are one possible cause of OCD and it is possible that also genetics, brain chemistry, and life stress are responsible. Therapy, medication, and family support can be some of the ways to help people with OCD.

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.
