Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 20-year-old and have been dealing with anxiety for two to three months now. I am constantly worried, restless, and anxious. Concentrating and falling asleep have also become increasingly difficult for me. I am eager to explore treatments, lifestyle adjustments, or coping strategies to manage my condition. Currently, I am under no medication. Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. You may have an anxiety disorder. There is non-pharmacological management for it, you should try to follow the below guidelines to deal with it. It will help you.

Do exercise daily for 30 to 45 minutes like at least going for a walk. It will improve your mood and sleep.

You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily, just sit in one place in a comfortable position, and try to concentrate on your normal breathing, do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts, just let it be. It will increase your concentration.

  1. You should eat healthy home-cooked foods, and avoid junk foods.

  2. You must drink enough water.

  3. You should spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family.

  4. You should spend time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills or language or musical instruments.

  5. You should get enough seven to eight hours of sleep daily.

  6. You must avoid tobacco alcohol or any substance abuse.

  7. Live your life, do not just spend it.

  8. Be bold and confident.

You can start tablet Escitalopram (Sorbitol, Citric acid) 10mg daily in the morning after breakfast and tablet Clonazepam (Benzodiazepine and Docusate sodium) 0.5 mg at night.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
