Please suggest ways to overcome my physical and mental exhaustion.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read all your problems and at first glance, it seemed to be some kind of muscular disorder. But, after going through all your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it was clarified that you do not have any muscular dystrophy or any other disease related to locomotor system. As you have a family history of psychosis from your maternal side, the root cause of your problem is anxiousness and overthinking. Your thinking affects your personality to a greater extent. If you are thinking that you are feeling tired or you are feeling drowsy, then your mind starts giving your body this type of signal that you actually get tired or drowsy.

You have also mentioned taking some Ayurvedic medicine in your complaint. Though you have not mentioned the name of the medicine, on the basis of the report, I can say that it has not caused any kind of damage as maximum values are within the normal range. You are already taking the Venlafaxine tablet, which is used to treat depression. According to your symptoms, reports and your family history, I can say that you might be suffering from depression or anxiety disorder. You do not have to worry because depression is curable. All you need is determination and a strong will power to fight against it. You need regular counseling, which will help you to fight against the disease. Please visit a psychiatrist or counselor regularly.

You can also try other options like doing meditation regularly. Initially, you will find it very hard to meditate, but with the passage of time, you will find it very relaxing and refreshing to the mind. Keep yourself busy in some work or in any other activity to keep your mind busy and you would not have time for any negative thoughts. Try ayurvedic panchakarma procedures like shirobasti. In shirobasti, they will only do oil therapy. It is a very beneficial procedure and does not have any side effects. I have seen many people who underwent shirobasti procedure and got greater help in fighting against depression and anxiety. It will improve your sleeping habits too.

You can also take Mentat syrup (Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Madhukaparni), two teaspoons twice a day with water or Mentat tablet, two tablets twice a day with water along with your current medication. This medication does not have any ill effects and does not cause any harm to you. It will help you to retain your concentration and will help you to calm your mind. Most important thing is family and friends. Try to spend maximum time with them. Share your problems with them. Try to find happiness in small things. Try to be extrovert. Avoid negative people around you. Positive people around you act like a therapy in itself.
