Hi doctor,
My mind is foggy and I am not able to think clearly. I am very forgetful and I sleep more during daytime. I cannot grasp things quickly and it takes a lot of time. My problem started 4 years ago when I drunk whiskey for the first time in my life. Since then my mind was foggy and slowed down. Also, I started skipping work and studies. Please help me. I have taken a lot of antidepressants, but it does not help. I am very much confused and I am less attentive to the things that go around me. I find difficulty in driving the car and it takes a lot of mental effort. I have social phobia and I fear going out of home. I like to do everything at home.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- I believe the use of the substance in your case has further worsened your anxiety.
- The symptoms you have described are suggestive of a heightened emotional state and commonly seen in association with anxiety.
- In order to get rid of this, you may have to see a therapist. You need an appointment with a psychiatrist who can prescribe you some medicines to temporarily overcome anxiety, so that the therapy is feasible.
Differential diagnosis:
Substance induced anxiety.
Probable diagnosis:GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) with social phobia.
Treatment plan:Psychotherapy (CBT - cognitive behavior therapy) with short term pharmacotherapy.
Regarding follow up:For further information consult a psychiatrist online.---> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/psychiatrist
