Kamal, you're 28 and dealing with PCOS along with mental health issues like anxiety, panic attacks, stress, overthinking, and mental strain. These symptoms are quite common in PCOS due to hormonal changes and emotional impact.  

Anti-anxiety treatment can help, but before starting any medication, a detailed psychiatric evaluation is important to understand the severity and choose the right approach.  

Treatment is tailored to your needs and may include safe medication along with therapy to manage stress and thought patterns. I suggest booking an audio or video consultation so we can plan a suitable treatment for your mental well-being.

How to check whether my metal health is ok?

277 days ago

1 answers

Lately, I had a breakup and I myself feeling that my mental health is not ok. Because I'm too emotional to everything even if it doesn't matters to me. I'm not interested in anything. Becoming an extreme introvert. Feeling loneliness even when I'm sorrounded with my family and friends. I'm not happy and feeling a silence but not peaceful. And I have sleeping issues too. When I cry, my chest aches.

Dr. Aman Shaba

Alphonsa, you’re 22 and going through emotional pain after a breakup. Feeling overly emotional, losing interest, becoming withdrawn, feeling lonely even around others, and having sleep issues can be signs of stress on your mental health.  

These may point to depression or emotional adjustment issues. Chest pain while crying shows how deeply it's affecting you.  

A detailed psychiatric evaluation is needed to understand your condition better. I suggest you book an audio or video consultation so we can assess things properly and plan support through therapy and if needed, medication.  

You can feel better with the right help. You're not alone.

Hello Akshay. The symptoms you are describing indicate that you are having Depression. Let me know the duration of these symptoms as well so that I can guide you accordingly. Depression is an actual biological disorder and occurs when the neurotransmittors in the brain are deficient. Depression is very much treatable. Management includes
1) Medications (of severe and prolonged enough) - like SSRIs / SNRIs - take 1-2 weeks to act and need to be taken for 6-9 months to prevent further relapses.
2) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (alone or in combination with medications)- to reduce negative thinking and improve coping skills
3) Mindfulness for stress management
4) Lifestyle and diet changes
Let me know if you need any further help.
Regards.

Mr. Shah,
Your symptoms suggest a pattern of work-related anxiety with physical stress responses—like headache, body pain, fatigue, and low energy.

This can be managed with:

Medication – A low-dose anti-anxiety medicine (like an SSRI) may help reduce both mental and physical symptoms.

Routine changes – Adequate sleep, light daily exercise, and regular meals can significantly improve energy and mood.

Stress management – Deep breathing, brief breaks during work, and relaxation techniques can help lower tension.

These symptoms are treatable with the right plan. A short evaluation can help tailor the best approach for you.

I am suffering from hepatomegaly but constantly thinking I can have ascitis due to Nani had but in USG there was only shown hepatomegaly and bowel loops with gas filled but my mind is working in different ways

Dr. Alan Reji

You're dealing with a lot, both physically and mentally, and that anxiety is totally understandable—especially when a loved one like your Nani had a serious condition like ascites. But it's important to focus on facts, not fears. Your ultrasound clearly shows hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) and gas-filled bowel loops, but no ascites. Ascites would be very clearly visible on USG as fluid buildup in the abdomen, and if it was there, it would’ve been mentioned. Constant gas and bloating from the bowel loops could be what's making you feel "full" or uncomfortable in the belly, mimicking what your mind fears.

What you're experiencing is health anxiety, where the brain fixates on “what ifs” even when tests say otherwise. It’s common when there’s a family history of serious illness. Try to trust your reports and doctors—your liver might be mildly enlarged due to fatty liver, infections, or lifestyle-related causes, but it’s very manageable, especially at your age. Start with a low-fat diet, minimal alcohol (if any), regular exercise, and get liver function tests if not already done. And don’t hesitate to talk to a therapist—it really helps when your mind keeps looping into fear. You will be okay—let’s take this one step at a time.

Meer Rabia,  
Your symptoms—overthinking, mood swings, fear, panic attacks, and feeling alone—are commonly seen in individuals with OCD and anxiety spectrum disorders. The feeling of not having someone to talk to can make it worse.

You need a detailed psychiatric evaluation to understand the intensity of OCD, anxiety, and possible depression. Treatment should be personalized and may include:

1. Medication to reduce anxiety and intrusive thoughts  
2. Structured therapy to help manage OCD and emotional regulation  
3. Breathing exercises and grounding techniques for panic and suffocation  
4. Support groups or platforms to connect with others safely

With the right help, you don’t have to deal with this alone—healing is possible.

Bechani jyada hai always tbiyat thik nhi lgti pate thik nhi rehta bp ki dawai kha rha hu escitopram.kha rha hu tbiyat thik nhi lgti bechani si rehti hai,,..................................................

Dr. Alan Reji

Agar aap BP ki dawai ke saath Escitalopram (jo ek antidepressant hai) le rahe hain aur fir bhi bechaini aur tabiyat theek nahi lag rahi, toh iska ek wajah medicine ka side effect ya dosage ka issue ho sakta hai. Escitalopram shuru karne ke baad kuch logon ko initial dino me anxiety, restlessness, ya digestion issues ho sakte hain, jo dheere dheere improve hote hain. Lekin agar aapko yeh symptoms zyada ho rahe hain aur din bhar bechaini mehsoos ho rahi hai, toh zaroori hai ki aap apne doctor se consult karein, taki dose adjust kiya ja sake ya alternate treatment consider kiya ja sake.

Agar pet bhi thik nahi rehta, toh ho sakta hai ki stress, gut health, ya BP medicines ka effect ho. Aap khane me halka aur easily digestible food lein, zyada oily aur spicy food avoid karein, aur hydration maintain karein. Regular halka exercise ya meditation bhi bechaini aur anxiety ko kam karne me madad kar sakti hai. Lekin agar symptoms worsen ho rahe hain ya aapko din bhar uneasy lagta hai, toh doctor se dubara milkar medicines ka review karwana zaroori hoga.

I have got addicted to Lorazepam 1 mg tabs. Earlier also I have taken psychiatric medicine and got well. But later I again started taking psychiatric medicine which i Tend to abuse. How to get over this addiction

Dr. Charan Kumar Pottem

Hello Mr. Francis, from whatever history you have provided, it appears that you have become dependent on Lorazepam and not taking it would cause sleep issues for you. One solution for this would be very gradual tapering of Lorazepam over months and at the same time, following a proper sleep hygiene. There are other alternative drugs to use for detoxification like Diazepam and Chlordiazepoxide as they are available in bigger doses and easy to taper than Lorazepam. Also, these drugs are collectively called Benzodiazepines and they cannot be prescribed online as per telemedicine guidelines of India 2020. Hence, kindly consult your nearest psychiatrist in person for proper evaluation and assessment.
Regards,
Dr. Charan Kumar,
MD Psychiatry (NIMHANS).
