Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have depression, social anxiety, anger issues, and insomnia and from last month I do not feel very hungry. I always forget to eat and I do not even feel like eating. I do not know if this is important or not, but my hands and legs shake like crazy sometimes and it is happening for the last six years.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I completely understand that you are concerned about your symptoms of social anxiety, panic, and depression. All of the signs you mentioned are clearly indicative of a psychological disturbance that is affecting your current life functioning. Generally, there are past negative experiences related to social and academic functioning which create fear of humiliation if the person undergoes panic attacks in social situations. Therefore, individuals with agoraphobia avoid social situations and might experience panic attacks. Cognitive behavior therapy is found to be the best treatment for agoraphobia and panic attacks. Do start your treatment at the earliest as those who complete treatment at the early stages of their disorder are likely to recover faster.

Thank you.

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