Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I do self-harm and I am over-obsessed, angry, and depressed. I feel irritability, restlessness, tiredness, and yelling. In addition, criticism makes me furious. Trust issues are more along with concentration problems, and a feeling that I may hurt others which makes me furious. I am a victim of sexual abuse. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your query. You have mentioned that there is a history of sexual abuse and a lot of individuals develop such symptoms. Anxiety and depressive symptoms are commonly seen. They develop mood swings, anger, ideas of self-harm, persistent irritability, etc. This should be evaluated by a psychiatrist. A low-dose antidepressant course can help to treat the symptoms. Please visit a psychiatrist for help. Psycho-therapy can be kept as an option. This will help you to forget the bad past.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
