I am struggling with body image and want to become slimmer. What to do?
Hello doctor,
I am a 19-year-old female dancer and my weight is 119 pounds and my height is 5 feet 5 inches. I am currently struggling with issues of body image, being a dancer. I always feel I need to be slimmer than I am and it has got to a point where I feel that I should eat very little and occasionally have made me sick. I also have confidence issues that hold me back with dancing and this happens in everyday life too I feel scared to talk to someone that I do not know.

What can be done for extreme mood imbalance?
Hello doctor,
I am a 19-year-old female in college, and I have been struggling with my mood lately. During the day I am super loud, and happy, but when I am alone or bored my mind wanders and I find myself get deeply sad. I also sometimes get irritable and snap at people. I do not know why I get sad or angry. I also sleep all the time. I am on Lexapro for my anxiety. I am worried with how fast my mood changes, and how sometimes I think everyone likes me, and then all of a sudden I think they do not. What is going on, and could it be some other mental illness?
