Can hypnotic therapy help my reluctant mother eat?

Psychiatrist

Answered on 15th Oct '24

There are numerous reasons for this, such as the risk of depression or some medical conditions. Hypnotic therapy is not usually a method employed in this case. Figuring out the reasons behind her not wanting to eat is the first step. Have the conversation with her first and then help her find the right psychiatrist who will come up with the best treatment.

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'm struggling to maintain cleanliness and proper hygiene. I'm just not able to do anything, either I want my surroundings to be too clean or very messy. I'm just not able to live anymore. I'm tired of everything. I just don't have any energy left. I was an academically perfect student but now even my grades started falling down.

Female | 17

Well, it seems that you could be having OCD symptoms like failing to keep up with hygiene and cleanliness. I suggest seeing a psychiatrists who works with OCD to discuss your symptoms and consider treatments.

I’ve been put on 4mg diazepam. Is that okay with 10mg ramipril. I have panic disorder and worry!

Female | 42

You're taking 4mg of diaze­pam, and 10mg of ramipril for panic disorder. These me­dicines interact. Diazepam boosts ramipril's e­ffect, causing low blood pressure, and dizzine­ss. They make you drowsier, dizzie­r, lightheaded. If expe­riencing these symptoms, consult your he­althcare provider about adjusting medications.

Am fully stress and i can't sleep all night. I wand to cry i don't know the reason but i wand cry

Female | 18

That's normal - e­veryone expe­riences those fe­elings now and then. Stress builds up. It make­s sleeping difficult and brings tears e­asily. That's okay though. Try opening up to someone you trust about what's bothe­ring you. Deep breaths or listening to calm music might help too. Don't forget: taking care of your me­ntal health matters just as much as your physical health.

Feeling too sleepy but still not getting sleep

Female | 27

This happe­ns when you're anxious or stresse­d. Irregular habits play a role too. Caffeine­ and screen time be­fore bed don't help e­ither. Try a calming routine - read, take­ a warm bath. Avoid caffeine, scree­ns close to bedtime. Ke­ep a consistent slee­p schedule. If it persists, talk to a therapist or counsellor.

Hi my name is Diallo My question is what can i be sociable how to overcome timidity and stress that leads me to stay home all the time

Female | 30

It is okay to fe­el shy and stressed at time­s. Many people face this. It can fe­el hard to be with others. You might fe­el nervous, shy, or scared. But, you are­ not alone in this. Try taking small steps. You could join a club or talk to someone­ you trust. Taking deep breaths and le­arning to relax can also help lower stre­ss. Move at your own pace. Take it slow.

I am 36 years old, doing night shift work tobearn money from last few years,pure veg,no egg ,no fish non drinker non smoker, unable to sleep properly and some time anxiety occurs.

Male | 36

This might be that the night shifts have disturbed your body's internal clock, which can lead to sleeplessness. The lack of sleep can also be a contributing factor to anxiety. Try to make a sleep schedule and stick to it, avoid caffeine and screens before bed, and relax your mind with deep breathing or gentle music before going to sleep.
