Avatar f tn s face it, stress is in the workplace in our schools in our private lives and in our world.

Avatar f tn I'm a 22 yr old male I just started going to the therapist and have been given an initial diagnosis of dmdd I researched it and it's really only found in children and adolescents. I believe I have bipolar disorder and asked my therapist if she thought I had it she said she didn't know enough about me yet to give this diagnosis. I guess I just don't understand how I'm initially diagnosed with dmdd and will it turn into a bipolar disorder diagnosis?
Avatar f tn Even if you may be a perfectly normal adult, and even though this disorder is most common in infants and mentally disabled people, this condition is now becoming more common among healthy and able adolescents/adults. I have been diagnosed with this condition after experiencing a year of bulimia, and although you may not have had an eating disorder, rumination syndrome can be associated with anxiety and stress.
987762 tn?1671273328 Hi There wonderful people, I cant get my head around why people with MS sx can be confused with someone with a stress disorder or anxiety disorder, so i've been trying to find the connection.

Avatar n tn Lexapro is mainly used to treat major depression in adolescents and anxiety in adults. Zoloft has wider applications in post-traumatic stress disorder, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Luvox, Lexapro and Zoloft are all antidepressants and are known as serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). All three are longer acting SSRIs, but have different half lives, different pharmacokinetics etc so can show difference in side effects and withdrawal symptoms.

Avatar f tn yah sounds like ocd to me...
Avatar m tn However, I still was more prone to the anxiety in the morning and by night, I felt comparatively good. I think it has something to do with our adrenal glands. When you first wake up, your body is in full-gear, ready for work, etc, then, as the day goes on, and you move around and release some energy, the adrenalin subsides some. Here are some suggestions for you: Take a good Pantothentic Acid vitamin, this is vitamin B5, it is great for the adrenals and nervous system.
Avatar f tn I want to explain you some things. The neurotransmitter is a myth made for marketing. Psyhiatric there is no test nothing to prove that. People with anxiety make theraphy and they become normal again, how they fixed the chemicals in the brain if they did not took medication? In my opinion and my research there is no connection to anxiety aboit neirotransmitter. Anxiety ia a learned behaivour caused by stress, not sleeping well, suprasolicitation, nervous fatique, and so one.

Avatar m tn Ok, I have been recently depressed about various things in my life for the last year or more. Not suicidal or anything but not satisfied with my life. Anyways I recently decided to try a pot brownie and totally flipped out. I had full on panic attack for probably an hour and thought I was going to die. I had been thinking about the last year or so and was wondering what I was doing in my life and all of a sudden my heart rate skyrocketed and I was in a panic.
Avatar f tn t want to. I just wanted to stay in my bed. in my room. I feared the world. If I were you I would just be there for him. Talk to him. tell him you will listen if he needs to talk.
Avatar n tn I answered the question in there. Oh and dreams are normal when anxiety levels are high. If we have any fears we dream about them. They are all embedded in the subconscious mind and come out to play as we sleep. That's a normal aspect of anxiety. Or of any illness for that matter.
Avatar n tn Whether you have generalized anxiety or social anxiety or garden variety anxiety can only be diagnosed by a doctor.........and at the young age of 13, (even tho it's obvious you are mature for your age) your hormones are kicking into high gear and that can sometimes bring on anxiety. I would urge you to talk to your parents about these feelings and I believe a talk with your doctor is in order. You do not have to feel this way.
1980361 tn?1345254209 Well if one of your parents has DB then yes it is very likely that you could too. Although the issue of adolescents having Bipolar Disorder is controversial. You should go and see a therapist. BD can be treated with medication, most likely some kind of mood stabilizers and therapy, but left untreated, it can be quite dangerous. If your mood swings do not vary so much each time you may have cyclothymia, a milder version of BD.
