Asked for female, 39 years old from Hyderabad

When I was 4 years old one of my uncle's too to a cafe near by in his lap and ordered for samosas and biscuits separately for both of us. But after ordering them he alone ate all in his plate and not allowed me to eat even any thing. He kept all as it is in my plate and bought me home. From then onwards I had a feeling that I should not share money or food to our people as they don't allow me to touch again. This behaviour increased in me to such an extent that I used to always expect from others without doing job or earning money and even if I do work for others I used to do freely .is there any cure for such thoughts to my problem.

Mild depression has a host of symptoms like low mood for too many days, crying spells, loss of interest in work, low confidence, insomnia, and suicidal thoughts. If mild depression is not treated in time, you are at the risk of severe depression. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Asked for male, 21 years old from Mumbai

Hello, i'm xavier. In january 2020, I was sitting for lectures regularly during my engineering classes. When the teacher or the students/classmates were not there in the class, even though I was sitting alone reading a newspaper or doing homework inside the class although knowing that teacher went home. I used to sit alone inside the class till evening. The peon told me that since no one is present in the class including the teacher, I should also leave the class but I was staying there only. The peon dragged me through the exit, but I was holding the walls very tight for not leaving the class so therefore the peon called other 3 peons to drag me through the exit but it failed so they finally decided to phone call the teacher. And then I left the class consciously. This happened for continuous 2 weeks of january and initial days of march 2020. In late february 2020, most of the students were not talking to me, only a few were there but they also left me as they were threatened by backbenchers' students to leave me. In march 2020, I used to learn mandarin chinese and after that I blamed myself for being responsible of covid-19 outbreak! in april-may 2020, I stopped watching youtube to avoid masturbation. From july till now, I stopped listening to music, stopped using social networking sites like facebook, instagram, twitter, snapchat, pinterest, reddit, quora, yahoo as well as stopped using zoom video conferencing app, stopped watching movies/sports, stopped using phone to dial someone. All the time, I used to switch off the phone not to receive any calls. I think my teachers are treating me like I don't exist in this world. And I decided not to give the engineering practical/viva exam. I used to talk to my pillow. I used to talk to an imaginary person all the time anywhere anytime. And I am sure that i'm at a risk of being committing suicide by hanging on a moving ceiling fan (not still ceiling fan) by 20th december 2020. This can be possible by avoiding masturbation which results stress and depression and other minor mental illnesses. 1) in 2016, I had been addicted to masturbation and in december 2016, I had opted for online text consultation in which the psychologist recommended me to do it for alternate days and if it affects like facing any weaknesses, then try to reduce it for twice a week. But I am very spiritual, therefore I feel very guilt after doing it even for twice a week and we also know that if a person avoid sexual pleasure, he/she can have low sex drive and this will create a problem in married life. But from 2nd std till now, I am afraid of girls, my heart rate starts increasing a lot. In my primary school days. When my girl-classmate come to take notes or for educational purpose, I used to run away and get to hide inside the cupboard but nowadays also, I fear girls and use to run away but in some cases the girl saw me that I ran away from her. Then she misunderstand it and she only threatened me to file a police case against me. 2) regarding covid19 outbreak, I still feel that I am the one responsible for this. Covid19 initiated on 1st december 2019 which is my birthday. I feel that my surrounding environment has teased me a lot in my school days and now they are getting covid19 anxiety. But I don't want to take revenge from them. I forgave them who teased me. And in those days' period in which I prayed and fasted for the relief of coronavirus, the following day I came to know that huge covid19 cases were there in india but very low cases in europe and south america. And I felt very guilty and depressed. I think covid19 has happened to punish all those who teased all the mental illness people, but seriously I don't want to take revenge. I forgave them because we deserve peace. 3) my daddy shouted at me politely because I am not charging my phone, I am keeping it shut down most of the time. I am not picking up unknown number calls, sometimes I used to remove battery from mobile so that I am sure I cannot receive calls even by mistake. My papa used to give me a new smartphone but I refuse to take it. And I feel better. In the month of april to september 2020, I wished the government should ban the internet and I had mailed this'no internet day' suggestion to various chief ministers of india. They told me they will do it. I got the reply from them. And this again makes me feel responsible for india-china affairs results ban on various chinese applications. 4) since 9th std, only during my exam days some worse things happened to me like hallucinations, stomach-ache, one-sided (obsessed) love failure, obsessive thoughts. That's the reason I am not giving engineering practical exam which is on 10th to 20th december 2020 as I had already fixed/planned a date to commit suicide on 20th december 2020 and I think if I give exam, something will happen to me most likely suicide therefore for not to commit suicide, I am not taking risk of giving exam. Yes, I planned a date to commit suicide and I myself taking precautions/preventions not to happen that. This makes me feel better. I don't know why. I hardly attend online classes because I feel that would become a social media addiction. This affected my attendance which is below 75%. Before lockdown, I had a record of 100% attendance. Even if no student attends the lecture, I used to sit and request the teacher to take the class in the laboratory (not in the classroom) because less than 4 people were there including me and the teacher. Following day, the teacher gets angry at the students as they bunked the class and in recess/break time they used to threaten to kill me. The teacher at starting didn't tell me anything and because only I and a person sat for the lecture (the rest of the students bunked the lecture), the teacher told me mad multiple times in a high voice in front of everyone because I am not like other people. I never bunked the class because I was living in an imaginary world in which parents are jailed if students bunked the class. I had attended online classes very few (maximum 2 days a week) but when the teacher calls me through voice call for attendance purposes, I am not responding as I want to stay socially isolated. I had permanently deleted my social networking sites to avoid conflicts. 5) I used to talk to myself a lot and I 100% feel that I am talking to my future wife. Mostly all the time I do this alone. When I was in 9th std, I used to talk to myself, talking and shouting silently pointing in the air means I murmur a lot means expanding my mouth just like talking but silently (no voice). This happened every weekday till 1 year (entire 9th std) and I got slapped every time but I become reactionless to it and I don't even aware that I got slapped. I realized it when someone told me about it. And now also I forgave them because we deserve peace. But from 2017 to 2020, I had consumed ayurvedic medicines and now I am talking alone (not in front of guest or in public place) 6) currently I am diagnosed with 3 mental conditions which are treated by psychiatric consultation by a psychiatrist from nimhans. 1) major depressive affective disorder, single episode, unspecified 2) adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood 3) anxiety disorder in conditions classified elsewhere (as I had attempted 4 times suicide. 1 time in 26th november 2016, 1 time in 19th may 2018, 1 time in 29th october 2018, 1 time in 4th july 2019) and the 5th one is expected to be on 20th december 2020.7) the more I go through counselling sessions, the symptoms are getting worse. I think the symptoms have hidden somewhere in the mind which is invisible. And going through counselling sessions, the symptoms used to appear which were hidden for several months. And again going through multiple counselling sessions, these symptoms can get cured. And I believe that the result will be much better! yes, there were friends at my school time in 9th std (2013-14), but those classmates who used to slap me had also bullied my friends regularly during recess time, which resulted in their exam performance. And I was helpless. One of them failed the exam and had repeated 9th std. There were friends during my primary school but some of them now don't know who I am and for that some of them are saying that I have mistaken them. And the rest of the friends left the school, left mumbai, changed the school to their native village and no personal contacts like my new phone number have been shared. Some of them know me but not much conversation happens. I saw a few (1-2) childhood friends in my locality once a year. Almost all of my friends separated from me. In 9th std, I did too much self-talk during recess for which I got slapped by my classmates. One of my friends also got slapped by our class teacher at that time for no particular reason. I have gone through this in 9th std (2013-14) almost 1 year but now I do self-talk but alone. During counselling sessions, I don't feel any suicidal thoughts occurring in my mind. But I do believe that periodically counselling sessions in an appropriate manner (no rush) will help me to cope with anxiety. If it is unimportant, not urgent. I don't use google. But, if it contributes towards my goal and aim then I use it keeping in mind not to use it beyond the limit. I strongly feel that on 20th december 2020, ending life is mostly out of my control, but before 20th december I am collecting ways to overcome it. The incident of 9th std: some of the 9th std classmates were telleing my friends that they belong to transgender but actually they were male. So now I am learning to accept alternative genders in the society by watching documentaries/talk-shows related to it. The prediction: from 1st january 2020&i felt that I will commit suicide this year&. And from 25th of november 2020& I got a sense that I will commit suicide on 20th of december 2020 the positive part: it#25;s been 2 weeks that I consulted mental health wellness experts to overcome such thoughts and will continue it and never give up (for me it means failure is not an issue, not initiating and losing hope don#25;t seems appropriate)&either we pass or learn something but never fails in life! what I learnt from psychotherapy is: in 1st counselling session.(for 64 minutes) i) balance between work & relaxation ii) mental illness can only be diagnosed by psychiatrist. (not by homoeopathy doctor) iii) self-talk is not a problem. Iv) we should avoid addiction from social networking sites and we should access only safer sites. V) be positive: if negative symptoms occur, try to work on it or mostly avoid it. Vi) believe in yourself. Vii) diary writing for daily/weekly analysis. Viii) be yourself: no tests can decide what you will be in your career/designation. Ix) to attend several sessions and achieve aim/goal. X) excess of anything is bad! xi) if suicidal thoughts occur, then remember those days in which someone told you happy birthday and you responded to it:) in the 2nd counselling session.(for 46 minutes) 1) just as we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon-dioxide, there is no pure only oxygen there in air. Similarly everything in surrounding has positive and negative things and we have to learn to accept it. Maharshi patanjali says, whenever thoughts opposite to these arise, you cut them out by practicing it in reverse. In other words, practice a thought to neutralize that thought. Supposing, you have got the thought of pride, now what to do? should we just accept it? and let it go inside? if it does it will dirty the inside, so you have to take immediate action. What is the immediate action? you take it out and throw it away. And you practice a thought of humbleness. Practice a reverse thought. Habits will be neutralized by reverse habits. When a rocket is shot into space by nasa. The first few seconds need the maximum fuel, so this force of gravitation has to be broken with a tremendous force. 2) very often. Most youths are committing suicide because of not having a girlfriend but it; s not required as of now. 3.1) you shall not steal. 3.2) you shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. In the 3rd counselling session.(for 45 minutes) 1) accepted the fact that despite being mentally too much strong, there are some people who commit suicide and in this case it is very difficult to find the source/root-cause, to identify the problem behind suicidal thoughts. Here it is advisable how to defeat peer-pressure. 2) be grateful to god that you are not like those people who smoke, drinks alcohol on a regular basis. They are drinking alcohol by misusing/spending the money in the air, misusing the money of their parents. 3) career counselling is needed (because of boredom related issues) and should avoid the behaviour of assumption. 4) earlier the stigma was that only mad people visited psychiatrists. Today, it's smart to have your own psychiatrist. It's cool to have your own therapist. 5) there are people (survivors of suicide) who have faced their fear and come out stronger, more alive. By trying to cope with suicidal tendencies, they've found a new understanding of themselves & learnt to love life. Their courage to keep going is what makes their factual stories remarkable. 6) avoid watching too much episodes of crime patrol, savdhaan india (those episodes which are focused on sex-lust seduction scenes, those episodes which are shown in dramatized form (mostly fake) 7) it's a myth that psychiatrists give sleep-medication pills. In the 4th counselling session.(for 55 minutes) we should not ignore the signs of depression like low mood, self-isolation, lack of interest in doing any activity. And then immediately consult a psychiatrist if these symptoms are affecting daily activities. In the 5th counselling session.(for 25 minutes) 1) if a person has urges to say something to a friend but from that saying, if you might lose your friend. Then the person must check what he/she is saying. It should not be like that saying, the person will lose his/her image. So in this case write it down that thoughts on the paper and then throw it. And afterwards don't open that topic. In this way, the person can express his/her thoughts on the paper and the mind will be calm. 2) don't sit lonely but engage in hobbies (which are accepted by societal level). In the 6th counselling session: (for 37 minutes) the psychiatrist advised me to do regular exercise. In the 7th counselling session.(for 23 minutes) the second time consultation with the same psychiatrist. I had consulted the psychiatrist the second time because to ask the following query to Dr. I have taken ayurveda medicines and fish oils to increase serotonin, but now psychiatrist (from nimhans) has diagnosed me with bipolar depression, so he prescribed me oleanz plus 20 mg/5 mg tablet for 30 days (one tablet daily at night after food). He also gave me general advice on regular exercise which helps increase serotonin and dopamine. So, my question is&the mechanism of the prescribed drug: oleanz plus tablet is a combination of two medicines: fluoxetine and olanzapine. They work by increasing the activity of certain chemicals called serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. These chemicals help relieve the symptoms of bipolar depression. But can I replace the prescribed drug with natural treatments like exercise, meditation/breathing exercises, gratitude, new hobbies like reading good books which naturally increase serotonin and dopamine in the brain? I want to replace it because, according to the psychiatrist, the prescribed drug (oleanz plus 20 mg/5 mg) will work 50% for me and with that if I do regular exercise, it will work more than 50% (but not 100%) I didn't start the medication (the prescribed one) yet& so can I replace it with exercise/fitness/meditation although the mechanism is similar i. E. To increase serotonin? and in the past I used to take fish oils/ ayurveda medicines and I stopped it now. Discussion: me: there is nothing wrong in trying to alter the neurochemicals by natural way. Can I replace medicines with meditation, breathing exercises? dr: (in an enthusiastic manner): yeah, yeah, you can. That's what i'm telling you from yesterday to do regular exercise. Me: can I please continue with these natural treatments and not only assess my capacity to use my strengths and my quality of life, but also that of people surrounding me? the Dr. Replied: ok the Dr. Have suggested me to do progressive muscular relaxation (pmr) regularly and to access cimhs. Com for online therapy for depression. Conclusion: the choice of medication has been discussed with Dr. According to Dr. The role of medication (for at least 10 days to 2 weeks) is to prevent its recurrence. Medication would have been given to help you get better with your symptoms. An allopathy doctor should not practice nor prescribe any ayurvedic or other alternative medicine. No cross-pathy practice is allowed by any medical practitioner unless such a person is also registered in that system in which he is practicing. The state government, in an government order (go) dated september 7, has barred the ayush (ayurveda, yoga, unani, siddha and homoeopathy) doctors from prescribing allopathic drugs in emergencies. The doctor has given a prescription for 30 days duration with appropriate dosage claimed if taken for 2 weeks at least, the symptoms will be better. Me: if we stop taking 1 day or take alternate days or stop in between, is there any issue? dr: no, it is not like that. If you stop, nothing will happen. But to see proper results, you should try for at least 2 weeks. I have prescribed this medicine for so many people and it worked for them. In the 8th counselling session.(for around 30 minutes) the third time. I did psychiatric consultation. He told me that I (xavier) used to be like inflexible personality at work. Has a hard time adjusting to changes which my thoughts don't like, tends to reject ideas that go against my thoughts' preferences, and prefers to maintain my thought's way of doing things and I tend to be close-minded and find it difficult to participate in social activities. My psychiatrist from nimhans suggested me for cognitive behavior techniques and progressive muscle relaxation/regular exercise as soon as possible. Prescriptions have been given for formalities. In the 9th counselling session.(for 49 minutes) I had been advised by a clinical psychologist to keep continuing therapy for overcoming suicidal thoughts. Meanwhile, suicide prevention helpline especially samaritans mumbai have helped me to find the root cause of the suicidal thoughts. Yes, I am getting thoughts like sucking up the ink from a pen's refill. But we know that one cannot have the courage of taking such steps. Therefore, I planned to do suicide in a scripted/comic way and then after trying all the scripted suicides, I can get the courage to do in real life. Scripted suicides like in front of everyone (not in a threatening manner. I will drink the entire bottle of dettol but in actuality, the dettol bottle will consist of a mixture of miranda and coca-cola which looks like real dettol syrup. I can pretend to do suicide and may be in future (it should not happen), that I may drink the actual dettol.

Dear lybrate-user,
you need a detailed consultation with your psychiatrist for assessment and diagnosis. Clonotril is given only for few days before assessment is done. It will not be the treatment after diagnosis. At your age we need to assess your medical conditions also.
