How to manage anxiety, depression, and panic attacks?
Hi doctor,
My current issues are depression and anxiety. Honestly, it all started when my husband passed on our son's 1st birthday. I have just let it build up, and now I cannot control how I feel. I cry over crazy things, and I get mad over little things. I cannot sleep at night because I have nightmares and panic attacks. I do not feel like doing anything, and I have very low self-esteem. I am happy for some time, and then I feel angry without any reason. I am currently on Prozac, but it does not help me. Kindly suggest some treatment for this issue.

How to help a disturbed child affected by a sex video?
Hi doctor,
My daughter is 12 years old. She saw a glimpse of a sex video at the age of 7. She was inquisitive at that time. Somehow, we gave her a vague reply and the issue got settled. But now, since last week or so, she started to behave abnormally keeping to herself. After prodding her, we got a shock of our life. She replied that the video she saw is still lingering in her mind. She is getting sexual feelings and not getting proper sleep. We were at our wit's end and counseled her that it is a natural phase and she should concentrate more on studies. But, I feel that she is not able to divert her mind. Kindly guide us.

Hi doctor,
I am writing to discuss a concerning issue related to my sexual health that has been bothering me. Approximately a week ago, I engaged in sexual activity with my partner, during which we had intercourse multiple times. I ejaculated each time. However, I am now experiencing difficulty achieving a full erection. Over the course of the week, I have met with my partner on several occasions and attempted different activities, including role-playing, but I have been unable to achieve a complete and satisfactory erection. Although I received oral stimulation from my partner, my erection did not reach its maximum potential. Additionally, I have noticed a decrease in my libido and overall arousal. I am unsure whether this is indicative of low testosterone levels, erectile dysfunction, or if it is simply a result of the intense sexual activity I engaged in previously, and my reproductive system requires time to recover.
I would greatly appreciate your professional insights and advice regarding this matter.
Kindly help.
Thank you.

Does the foreskin need to be retracted during sex?
Hello doctor,
I got married three months back. And since then, I am not able to have sex with my wife. I am not able to retract my foreskin when erect, and the head of the penis is not visible. I can only retract it less than 1 cm. The foreskin on the penis is very soft, and I cannot roll it back. When I try to penetrate, it pains and my erection is not very strong to penetrate. I tried taking tablets for improving my erection, but it has not helped. My erection is better now, but I am not able to penetrate. Please help me. Is it compulsory that the foreskin has to retract during sex? Please help me as soon as possible
