Never thought I will suffer from something depression like this. I am so happy that I chose therSathya Prakash for my treatment as now I am perfectly fine. I went to the Institute of Brain & Spine - Lajpat Nagar in case of emergency, but not once did any of the nurses panicked. Our family physician personally recommended therSathya Prakash. He never gets frustrated, even when I ask a number of queries. With great ease Sathya Prakash explained us the problem and how the treatment will be carried out.

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Premature ejaculation is a very common problem. There are a number of medication and non medication based solutions to this. But before any intervention, we need to understand and evaluate the problem carefully to see what potential causes are there. Taking any medication without properly understanding the cause is dangerous. I am not an expert on ayurvedic medicines. However, I can reassure you that based on a proper evaluation, a safe and satisfactory solution can be found keeping your preferences in mind. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. We need to see if what you are describing is an adjustment disorder, a unipolar depressive episode with personality issues or a depressive episode in the context of a soft bipolarity. This will need a detailed evaluation and appropriate recommendations will follow. Regardless of the exact diagnosis, psychotherapy or counseling will be useful. The need for medications and if needed, the choice of medicine can be ascertained after a detailed evaluation to confirm the exact diagnosis. Eat healthy, exercise and meditate. Don't worry, you will get better. Lots of people with much worser situations get better. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. This is not an uncommon situation. It is clear that a psychiatric evaluation is warranted and will likely result in a diagnosis also. Very often, people do not want to visit a psychiatrist because of various assumptions - I can not be helped; I will be admitted; I will not be treated with respect; I will be given medicines with side effects; I will have to take medicines for life etc. But when they do meet a good psychiatrist, many of these assumptions turn out to be false and the person becomes willing to visit again. Therefore, I think what needs to be done here is to ask her to meet a psychiatrist once and see how things go. She can be reassured that no medicines/ admission / procedure will be done without her consent and if she does not like the interaction, she need not come again. Very often, this approach is very effective. Hope that answers the question. Take care!

Dear sir, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Depression is a complex entity with many different forms and presentations. Certain aspects of depression respond to medicines, while certain others to psychotherapy, and still others to exercise/ diet/ sleep etc. Very often, one antidepressant is initially effective/ partially effective and then loses efficacy. The correct thing to do in such a scenario is to re-evaluate the diagnosis and if that is accurate, shift to a different medicine based on the detailed history/ evaluation and combine it with psychotherapies such CBT. It is great that you are exercising regularly. I assume that blood tests including thyroid and vitamins are normal. The above suggestions will help you to proceed further. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Forgetting may happen due to a number of causes, some of which are completely reversible and some partially so. The latter will benefit from early intervention. First, we need to assess the extent of forgetfulness in detail and see over what period of time this has developed. We also need to see if any other brain functions are affected or not. Then we proceed towards looking for a cause. Baseline tests like hemogram, RFT, LFT, RBS, thyroid profile, Vitamin B 12, folate are necessary. Based on these reports, pointers towards neurological, psychiatric or psychological causes can be identified. If needed only then additional tests can be carried out. Overall, considering that you are only 41, possibility of more severe diseases seems less likely, In any case get in touch with a professional for a proper evaluation and management. Take care!

Hi, thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. The symptoms you are having, in all likelihood, is not related to HIV. Get a p24 antigen test done to relieve yourself of this worry. Also get STD panel of tests done to check for other bacterial/ viral infections just to make sure and feel safe (as HIV is not the only STD). In all likelihood, all of these tests must turn out normal. Based on the details provided by you, there is little to no risk of transmission. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. The first and the simplest way to approach the problem you are facing is to treat the premature ejaculation. I am not aware if you have had treatments for this in the past. Either ways, a look into the PME problem should make things very much better. We have people coming with this problem all the time and getting better. Hope that answers your question. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Was the medicine started as per directions of a psychiatrist? Headache is a common side effect of many anti-depressants if started at a higher dose. Also, headache could be due to other causes also. If headache was there before start of medicines, obviously other causes are involved. Very often headache is a symptom of anxiety/ depression. So I think an evaluation by a psychiatrist is warranted. Hope that answers your question. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Naltrexone is just one of the many anti-craving medications used in the treatment of alcohol use disorders. Anti-craving medicines are one of the multiple groups of medicines that are used. It is also important to understand that medication is only one part of the treatment or 'de-addiction' Naltrexone definitely needs to be prescribed under medical supervision and monitoring. Based on a detailed evaluation, we must first see if naltrexone would suit you or other anti-craving medicines would be better. Also, the evaluation will guide us to decide whether other medicines/ psychotherapy/ lifestyle changes/ medical interventions/ tests are needed or not. Most psychiatrists in Delhi prescribe naltrexone. Hope that answers your question. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. You are obviously having problems adjusting to the troubled circumstances in your family/ life. There are certain symptoms of depression that you are reporting, but it is not clear if you have a depressive disorder or what is known as an adjustment disorder. This is important because antidepressant medicines have no role in adjustment disorder whereas they may have a role in a depressive disorder. Therefore, it is important to have a proper evaluation by a psychiatrist. It is tempting to have a quick, short cut kind of a solution and is only human and natural. But in the interest of your career and long term perspective, an evaluation by a mental health professional is certainly warranted and advisable. Do not neglect food and drink. Practise some form of exercise for atleast 20-30 minutes 4-5 days a week. These will serve as first aid measures. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. It seems that some kind of an emotional problem is present. Some of this may or may not be part of your personality, but it appears that atleast some part of this is a disorder, that can be improved significantly with professional help. With the brief description provided by you, it is very difficult to exactly tell what the problem is and a detailed evaluation will be needed. However, it appears that the problem is not very severe, but not too mild to be ignored either. Seeing a professional may help to clarify things. In the meantime make sure you get 8 hours of sleep a day, exercise 20-30 minutes a day and have a balanced diet. Spend more time with your well-wishers/ close friends even though you may not feel like. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Considering the longstanding history, I think reasonably good progress has been made. I am not sure if your question is whether you should see somebody else or ask your own doctor to increase dose/ change medication, or, you are asking if the medicines can be stopped now. A lot depends on how much symptoms is still present and how troubling it is. Medicines will certainly need to continue at the time being but whether a dose increase or change of medicines is needed depends on how troubling the residual symptoms are. Although I am not aware what medicines you are on, it may not be wise to decrease/ change the existing medicines right now, risking re- emergence of symptoms. Very often, in OCD, symptoms improve significantly and continue at a low level. The exact scenario in your case is a little unclear to me and will need a proper evaluation to clarify. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. This kind of anxiety is common and can be part of social anxiety alone or a more generalized phenomenon. The reason or cause behind this is complex. It can involve one's nature/ personality or an anxiety disorder or a combination of both. If this has been there since childhood, there is likely a large component of personality. If it is something of recent onset, the component of the disorder is likely larger. The disorder part may respond to medicines whereas the personality part will need therapy/ counseling. Usually, a combination of both medicines and counseling works best. After a proper evaluation, a personalized management strategy can be planned. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Anxiety can be of various types and can be part of one's personality, be a disorder in its own right or present as a part of other psychiatric disorders. There is no one best treatment for all of anxiety. SO we will need to see the exact nature and characteristics of the anxiety and come up with a personalized solution. Exercise, good sleep, meditation, breathing exercises, balanced diet and plenty of water are advisable. Medicines, counseling/ therapy may be needed. Please see a professional in person for a proper evaluation and management. I am aware that it is tempting to have a quick solution, but the reality is it is best to deal with these kinds of problems after a proper evaluation. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. What you are describing seems to be a partially remitted form of a psychological condition. Many a time, these partially remitted forms remit completely on their own or in many, they tend to become chronic. The latter can get problematic. Therefore, a psychiatric evaluation is certainly in order. I am quite confident that your previous, normal personality will be restored with appropriate intervention. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. I think there is an underlying current of mood instability. This could be seen in a variety of conditions including personality styles like borderline personality and in more severe forms, in bipolar disorders. It seems that your problems are mostly in the personality domain but it is very difficult to make an accurate statement without seeing you. I suggest that you should meet a psychiatrist at the earliest and get a proper evaluation done so that the problem can be sorted out. Do not worry! People have much worser problems than this and get better. I am quite confident that with appropriate help you will get better. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. This seems to be an anxiety symptom and could be part of an anxiety disorder or other psychological condition. Although it can be treated with relative ease, we must first establish the proper diagnosis. We will need more details of your condition like how it started, since when is this happening, any other symptoms etc in order to suggest a more specific remedy. Treatment can be done in many different ways and are generally safe and effective. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. If neither partner has HIV, HIV cannot be created by having intercourse. If one of the partners has multiple partners, one might want to double check if he/ she is truly negative by repeating the test after a few weeks. Rarely, the test may be negative whereas the person is actually HIV positive. But if the person is truly negative, there is no question of transmission. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. If symptoms are controlled with medicines one must always remember that in certain people a phenomenon known as discontinuation related resistance is seen; that is the same medicine that was effective earlier does not work after a period of stopping the medicine followed by re-emergence of symptoms. So, one must be very cautious when thinking of stopping the medicines. The form of treatment that comes closest to your goal and may in some people allow one to gradually withdraw medicines are specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy like exposure and response prevention, thought stopping, thought flooding, thought habituation and acceptance based therapies. Take care!

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Yes, it is possible to prevent transmission of HIV from mother to child in a large proportion of people. Well established protocols for this are available and have been used for many years now. Most medium to large hospitals should have this facility. A number of medicines such as nevirapine etc have been used at various doses and combinations with varying rates of success. Consult your gynecologist in person for more information on this. Take care!
