View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with depression symptoms for three months now and I've noticed that when I dont take my medication, I end up with a headache. I was on nexito forte and lesuride for the past month but my doctor switched my lesuride dose to sulpitac 50. To be honest, I really dont want to rely on medication. Can you tell me how long I'll need to keep taking these meds?
before starting of the medicines it is better to take advice from the consultant

I've been dealing with some anxiety issues and I've noticed a habit of mine that's been concerning me. I tend to shake both my legs when I'm sitting cross-legged, and I can't help but wonder if it's causing me harm. After I'm done with the shaking, I sometimes start to sweat and feel pretty tired. Should I be worried about how this might be affecting my heart or maybe my overall health?
That is called restless leg syndrome,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate help.and no it doesnt cause any effect on heart

I'm feeling super confused and kind of worried about masturbation. I usually do it once a month, but afterward, I end up feeling really down, tense, and sort of hopeless. It also messes with my motivation for studying and work. I've heard so many mixed opinions about whether masturbation can be bad for mental, sexual, or physical health. Some doctors say it's perfectly fine, while others call it a harmful habit. Can it really affect someone this much, or is it no big deal? I'd love to understand this better.
excess of masturbation can become problems
