Why am I scared of people behind me?
Hi! I was just wondering why I had such a fear of people walking or sitting behind me! Sounds silly, but as a kid I would always get in the back of the line at school, and never want anybody in front of me, its still followed me and I'm 17, do you have any idea if its a phobia, or if I'm just paranoid?

You might have something called scopophobia, which is a fear of being watched or looked at. While it's natural to experience the discomfort of having someone standing behind you, on the other hand, it can be scopophobia if it has an impact on your everyday life. Symptoms are anxiety, sweating, and rapid heartbeat. The origin of it might be past experiences or genetics. Visit a psychiatrist for proper treatment.

Sorry for your loss. Grieving is a challenging and emotional experience, and many people do experience sleep disturbance. Please don't hesitate to seek support of a psychiatrist or a sleep specialist.

Female | 17
You might be dealing with "earworms," which is when a song gets stuck in your head. This can happen due to stress, fatigue, or simply hearing the song too often. To manage it, try switching to a different activity, listening to another song, or talking to a counselor to handle stress. Remember to take breaks from work and enjoy some downtime.

I have not depression but it came into my mind 24hrs that I have depression
Female | 22
Depression brings exhaustion, loss of pleasure, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Factors like genetics, life challenges, and imbalances in brain chemistry can contribute to depression. Therapy offers tools, medication stabilizes brain chemistry, and lifestyle changes can help adjust your path. Confiding in trusted individuals and seeking guidance from a psychiatrist are essential steps toward recovery.

Male | 27
I get that you're down and having thoughts of harming yourself. That's depression talking. Depression can make you feel super lousy, exhausted, and lose interest in fun stuff. Life events, genes, or brain chemistry issues could cause it. But the great news is depression is treatable. Talking to a psychiatrist, exercising regularly, and taking prescribed meds can help lift your spirits.

Amitrip and zolax sr 0.5 can make the outcome rather risky. You might feel symptoms like drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, and also have coordination issues. It happens because of both medical specialties that affect the brain. Seeking medical help should be the first priority if you have any of these symptoms noticed.

It seems like anxiety may be the cause. Feeling nervous or troubled happens. Your breathing gets tough. Anxiety arises from stress. Or it could stem from genes. Some medical issues can lead to it too. But you can manage through techniques like relaxation. Regular exercise helps.

Bipolar disorder therapies sometimes have side effects like erection problems which are quite common. Symptoms might consist of difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. This is mainly due to some medicines that interfere with the hormones or the blood circulation. It is important to have a discussion with your psychiatrist regarding this problem. Your doctor may modify or suggest alternative treatments to cope with this issue.

My sister took 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine together should I take her to hospital
Female | 18
Taking 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine pills together can put your sister in great danger. This mix of medicines may make her very sleepy, confused, and give her a fast heartbeat or even seizures. These drugs can interact badly and harm her body. It is crucial to take her to the hospital right away so doctors can help her feel better and stop serious problems from happening.

I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.
Male | 21
Often, a constant feeling of tiredness yet not wanting to sleep signals sleep issues or irregular routine. Perhaps insufficient rest or poor sleep patterns occur. Stress, excessive screen time, or inadequate exercise contribute. Establish a regular sleep schedule. Limit caffeine and sugar intake and wind down before bed.
