You need to be started on anti anxiety/ antidepressants medications. Please consult for a detailed evaluation and further treatment.
In the meantime please practice relaxation techniques and breathing exercises, it will help reduce anxiety.
Avoid caffeinated drinks as they can increase anxiety too.

Hi my sister has been creating chaos at home as her fiancee cancelled the engagement. She often screams and there was one time when police came to our house. She stopped screaming when the police came. She took olanzapine tablets from 2017 to 2018. Then she stopped taking that as she became fat. Doctor, is it possible if you could send us prescription to purchase olanzapine tablets on singapore. It's very hard to control her. Please.

Asked for female, 20 years old from Allahabad

I'm an18 years old girl (will turn 19 this june). I'm a medical student in china currently in my first year. I came back to india during my vacation in january. I don't know everything was going well. But since mid february I am feeling very low. I don't know how to explain myself. I don't feel like doing anything. Even if I try to develop interest the next moment i'm back to the same place and suddenly everything just goes back to normal. I don't feel confident enough. Since mid march I noticed that even while doing normal activities i'm normal but suddenly something comes hits me I remember some bad old days even if I don't want to and start crying. Then after 5 -10 min i'm again back to normal. This one time I remember I just woke up suddenly with a jerk in the morning and felt like I don't know the reason why i'm up. Whats the purpose of me getting up. What should I do. And I got so scared I started crying and after a few min I was okay and went back to sleep. It never happened to me after that. It just feels like now days i'm pretending to be happy and I don't know the reason. I don't know if it's just a normal thing with a teenager or something is actually wrong. Im very scared and it's frustrating. Now what I have noticed from the past few days that maybe I just keep forgetting things while i'm talking. I was talking to my friend and I wanted to say "you don't need a reason" but that "reason" word I just forgot. I have a habit of talking to myself. nowadays even if i'm talking to myself it just feels like I don't have words to explain. I just forget. Its very scary and because of all these things i'm scared even to open my book because I won't be able to bear the fact that I won't be able to study because of this. Please help. I have got my medical college after a lot of difficulties. I don't know what's happening to me. I hope i'm normal.

I have been taking antidepressants for 8 years now. I read somewhere that antidepressants can cause damage to the heart valves, especially the chords and structure of mitral valve. My latest 2d echo shows I have mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. Could the antidepressants have caused it? Im trying to stop them but it's getting tough what can I do to get rid of the mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. Im especially worried about mitral regurgitation. Does it go away with time? What can I do in terms of treatment and medicines to get rid of mild Mr. and tr.

Yes allopathic medicines have various side effects.
Long term use is hardly any helpful even in the disease taken for.
Better take Homoeopathic treatment to cure it.

Assuming he doesn't have hypertension, and a neurologist has been consulted - the best treatment would be to go upto maximum permissible dose of the medicine (s) he had most relief with. If not, kindly refer to a neurologist for further evaluation.

The minimum duration of treatment for depression is 9 months. You should continue medication for 4 more months, then ask your doctor for tapering. Your medication will be tapered only if your symptoms are improved. No patient should taper the dose without the advise of the doctor.

Please continue medication, along with cognitive behavioral therapy to prevent recurrence of depression.

Irregular medication and under dose may leads to recurrence of symptoms so be cautious

Hello,
I see how this is frustrating for you. It would be in your best interest to consult a psychiatrist and complete the full dosage of the prescribed medicines at the times given. The regimen matters in psychiatric medication. Unlike othr meds, we can not choose to reduce dosage or stop taking it.
