Why Am I Struggling with Overthinking and Repetitive Behaviors?

Patient's Query

Overthinking and repetitive behaviours

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel

Feeling mentally overwhelmed and stuck in repetitive patterns for an extended period can be a sign of anxiety. This may lead to symptoms like restlessness, sleep disturbances, and heightened alertness. The causes of anxiety can vary, ranging from stress and genetics to imbalances in brain chemicals. To manage these feelings, practicing mindfulness, exercising, and talking to someone can significantly improve your well-being.

I am studing but it is not entering my head I am facing it for last 1 month What to do?

Male | 21

If you are feeling tired all the time, running a fever, and experiencing general bodily malaise (like muscle aches), there is a chance that what you have could be caused by some kind of virus such as influenza. The important thing for now is making sure to drink lots of water, get plenty of sleep, and take over-the-counter medicines for symptomatic relief. However, should none of these measures work then I would advise seeking further guidance from your doctor or another healthcare professional.

Porn addiction very much. How can I overcome this problem

Male | 45

It can also be triggered by different aspects like stress, and boredom, or it might be just a custom factor. To get over it this, try imposing some limits like sticking to certain times of the day to spend in front of the television, discovering other hobbies or activities that will mean a busy mind, or enlisting the help of friends or a therapist who can work with you through these moments and to the source why you choose porn.

I’m writing regarding my father, [age 55 years], who has been showing schizophrenia-like symptoms for many years (around 10 years). His behaviour includes continuous talking, irritability, difficulty following instructions, and being argumentative or suspicious. He was previously on olanzapine, which used to make him very sleepy and inactive — he would mostly stay in bed all day. Because of that, we stopped olanzapine around 4 days ago and started aripiprazole 5 mg daily in the morning after breakfast. Since starting aripiprazole, he has become more awake and active, but now there is increased restlessness, excessive talking, and mild aggression. He doesn’t listen properly and gets stuck on small issues. His weight is around 90 kg, and I feel 5 mg may be too mild because his symptoms are severe and have been constant for years. I wanted to ask if it would be safe and appropriate to increase aripiprazole to 10 mg daily, or if you recommend any other adjustment or short-term calming medication during the transition. Please advise on the safest way forward — whether to raise the dose, continue 5 mg longer, or add any supportive medicine.

Male | 55

The switch from olanzapine to aripiprazole seems to have helped with his alertness but brought about some restlessness and increased talking, which can be common when adjusting medications. Given his weight and the severity of his symptoms, increasing the aripiprazole to 10 mg could be an option. However, it's crucial to consult his neurologist before making any changes. They can assess his response to the current dose and guide you on the best way forward, whether it's adjusting the dosage or adding supportive medication temporarily. These adjustments often require close monitoring to ensure the best outcome for your father. Don't hesitate to reach out to his healthcare provider for guidance.

I have a bed wetting problem I am very stressed for this problem nd after 2 months I am getting marrried I feel bad on this problem

Female | 23

Hi, you, it's pretty normal to feel bad when accidents happen in bed, especially when the big day is soon. Wetting the bed is medically referred to as nocturnal enuresis, which is when an individual pees during their sleep without consciously doing it. This condition might be caused by genetic factors, small bladder size, stress, or hormonal imbalances. The good thing is, that bed-wetting usually resolves itself with time as the child grows. To help manage it, you can, first and foremost, cut down the amount of water intake before going to bed. And besides that, you are not by yourself in this, which means make it a solvable problem.

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.

Hi, my name is aiden i am 14 years old and I've been wondering if there something wrong with me when i lay down on my chest i find it a lil hard to breathe sometimes i wonder if its axizety or i might be overthinking but other then that ive been having axizety making it hard for me to sleep and i just feels like my eyes are close but im not getting any sleep what should i do

Male | 14

When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night.  You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.
