Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. Let us look at your scenario systematically. First, what is the likely diagnosis? It is difficult to say with the limited information available, but if one were to conclude with this information, I would agree with the diagnosis that was assigned to you (OCD). Your doctor is not using risperidone as an antipsychotic here, but as an augmenting agent. The dose of risperidone is on the lower side and that further confirms his intentions. The use of r...more

Dear user when we are aware about our problem we are able to control but we have to control it in a proper way. You are too young and taking these tablets, it’s not good for your physical as well as your mental health. If you don’t want to take medication for life time then please wake up yourself, medicines are not a perfect solution for mental health or anger issues. You have to work on your own, your will power, your mind and thoughts. But due to certain reasons if you have anger issues y...more

There is no Medication that can be given to stop Cannabis use and a high level of Motivation is required for it....more

Meditation helps depression only by reducing the time of thinking about your actual troubling problems as you concentrate more on things unrelated to those problems at least for some time. There is no other proven benefits. So if you do meditation in all the time you are awake, then only it really helps you for the whole day. Seriously. Meditation helps a little bit better in anxiety, it helps to monitor and practice and experience slow breathing, and heart rate (due to rest state). And as in fi...more

I am 15 year old boy. I am suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks. Actually 2 years before my exam was going to held and I was in my study room planning to learn the sylabbus but suddenly a thought came that what will happen if I fail in the exam. I hadn't learned the sylabbus, there was only 5 days left for exam. So I was so much anxious and frightened. Actually I was feeling severe anxiety that day. Such type of severe anxiety I hadn't experienced before. Anxiety was so much much high. After severe anxiety my appetite lost, I got fever and I couldn't sleep at night. Days were passing and my condition was getting worse. From that day I feel severe anxiety and fear on a regular basis. I lost my happiness totally. I was struggling hard to be in normal state since I was feeling severe anxiety. After 1.4 year I consult a neuropsychiatric and he prescribed me flunil ip - 40 (fluoxetine) and risdone mt 0.5 (risperidone) and after that I feel a bit relief but not completely. However,i feel anxiety regularly and panic attacks. Please suggest me the treatment. Should I have take any therapy like cbt or psychotherapy to get rid of this problem completely. I don't feel happiness. Please doctor tell me the solution.

Yes, you are right. You need cbt therapy to manage your intrusive negative thoughts which are the cause of your anxiety. I have treated many clients with this approach.
