One can suspect a person having bipolar disorder if they are experiencing periods of mania and depression but you can only know for sure once you consult a specialist (Psychiatrist).

View allIm 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?

I'm experiencing something kinda strange: I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself masturbating, but it's like I'm only half-aware while it's happening. I remember it clearly the next day, though. This has been going on for about 3-4 months now, mainly during sleep every 5-6 days. I don't feel the urge or masturbate during the day at allI've stopped doing that since a year ago because I'm trying to focus on my studies and stay out of relationships. It's got me feeling pretty down. I really want to stop this unconscious night-time habit. Any advice on what might be happening and how I can manage it?
It sounds like you're experiencing a form of sleep-related behavior, which could be related to your subconscious mind, stress, or other underlying factors. It's important to address any feelings of anxiety or stress and consider speaking with a counselor or medical professional who can help you manage this situation and find ways to regain control over your sleep and well-being.

It feels like I've been on a roller coaster, and I've this scared sensation in my chest most of the day. It gets even worse when I leave the house or when the baby screams. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be anxiety or something else?
