How are cystic acne and mental health conditions related?
Hello doctor,
I would like to know the connection between cystic acne and mental health conditions, specifically the ways acne can indirectly exacerbate anxiety and depression.
How often these issues occur together? What are the current theories for why they occur together so often? How are they treated when they occur together and are there any medication interactions to keep in mind?

How to stop hearing voices that make life difficult?
Hello doctor,
I am a 16-year-old female. I have this voice in my head for as long as I can remember. It tells me to do things, simple things like move this. But if I do not, then it says it will do bad things, like kill my mother, for example. At first, I could live with it, but now it is getting so hard, and I do not know what to do. I am too scared to tell anyone.

How to manage persistent mental torture from a professor?
Hello,
For the past nine months, I have been suffering from mental trauma, because of a professor. I studied at a good college. During my first semester, I did really badly. But, then I improved a lot. As I failed in the first semester I was told to pass that paper for my promotion to the second year. Many people who had less than me went to the second year, but to me every time it was a cold shoulder from management. When I attempted again, unbelievably the questions were much harder. I did my best, but I failed again. The professor harassed me. I am sure I deserved more. Should I stand up and fight for the injustice done? I cannot bear the entire burden. Please help me to understand the problem.
