I'm really worried about my partner. She struggles with anxiety and often ends up crying when she's home alone. It's tough because I'm at the office most days. She's just not in a good place right now. Any advice on what steps I should take to help her?

She is experiencing symptoms of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed when alone at home. I recommend she take **Xanax (alprazolam)** at a low dose of 0.25mg to help manage her anxiety symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Im dealing with depression and I'm really struggling because I'm stuck in this cycle of masturbating about 45 times a day. It makes me feel awful, and I just can't seem to stop. I'm in 12th grade, preparing for my board exams in science but my focus is shot, and I feel exhausted and sleepy all the time, which isnt helping at all at this critical stage. I know I need help, but I'm not sure how to approach my parents about it. What kind of doctor should I be reaching out to for this situation?
