OCD Questions

Asked for female, 31 years old from Kota

I think I have a bipolar disorder, one doctor confirmed, one said may be mild chances, many said ocd, anxiety,secondary depression. I am very worried about a wrong diagnosis, I have been prescribed fluoxetine 40 mg, 2.5 mg olanzapine and 0.5 mg etilaam in the name of ocd. Will this help me incase I have bipolar. I think etilaam should be excluded and also the doctor will do the tapering assuming I have ocd and depression. Shown to a lot of doctors. Some have recommended fluvoxamine with olanzapine or etilaam. Need time to finalize the doctor. Kindly throw light on safe bipolar medication even if mis or undiagnosed. Also 3 years back had ocevox50, olizmd,ezolent plus and oximed which worked fine, I left it on my own after a year's time. I have racing thoughts, no emotional fluidity, slowed brain and speech, difficulty in constructing ideas or arranging thoughts in mind, each one ruled out schizophrenia, I am impulsive, keep changing topics, I argue and I am talkative.

Dear lybrate-user,
bipolar disorder is a longitudinal diagnosis. Since you keep changing the doctors, each one sees you at a cross sectional time. Ocd, depression, anxiety etc are common diagnosis during depressive episode. Now that you have recurrent episodes and one episode of racing thoughts, argumentative and over talkative, bipolar disorder is a possibility. Please consult with one psychiatrist with all the prescriptions of previous doctors. If you can, take one family member who has ob...more

Wait and watch. People usually get rabies from the bite of a rabid animal. It is also possible, but rare, for people to get rabies from non-bite exposures, which can include scratches, abrasions, or open wounds that are exposed to saliva or other potentially infectious material from a rabid animal.

Hi lybrate-user, I have never heard anyone having started with ocd and depression after consuming brahmi and ashwagandha. Rather the opposite! some of my clients shared that they take it along with my counselling sessions and it helped because these herbs are known to help in some mental health issues. Though excessive of anything is bad and we won't know if you consumed them excessively.
Coming to the point of symptoms of depression and ocd, I would suggest not self - diagnosing rather cons...more

Stress patients worry too much. Stress in today’s day & age where stress is high, feelings of frustration can emerge. It is our perception that can change our current negative situation into a healthy & positive one. Another way of perceiving these feelings of frustration can be by looking at them as an opportunity to push ourselves to go that little extra mile until we achieve our objective. However, there are times when we all can go around in circles; and being in this space can be quite upse...more

•be informed – accept that ocd is a recognised and treatable mental health condition, and that understanding what it is all about is the first step towards recovery.
•helping a person with their compulsive behaviours can reinforce their symptoms. However, it is important that the involvement of friends and family in rituals is reduced in a very gradual way as part of an agreed plan with the person or treatment program.

1. Expression kills depression.
Talk to your loved ones, share as much as you can, and if you don't have anyone talk to yourself, and if you can't even do that, talk to any god in whom you have faith.
2. Be busy be happy.
Depression needs time to survive, if you make yourself busy enough not even to spare any second, depression would cease to exist.
Use internet and entertainment to pass any extra time. (avoid social media though)
3. 5 am to 7 am cure.
Reserve hundred min...more

There are tests to rule out copper levels in the body. If they turn out to be normal and still you are worried and anxious about the same, you need to be treated for anxiety disorder. Consult any psychiatrist in person or online. Good luck.
