I am 41 years old and have been suffering from serious mental illness for the last 10 years. The medicines I take are lithium bicarbonate, amisulpride, Phendy Plus and the sleeping tablet zolpidem. I searched on the internet about these medicines and found that they are used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and parkinsonism. I want to know about ayurvedic medicine as I have not got any results from allopathic medicines.

Discuss with psychiatrist before changing treatment. Stopping psychiatric meds can be dangerous. Ayurveda can be supportive but not a substitute.

My mom has had a lump in her neck for the past 20 years. She does not have any problems with the lump. We showed it to 2 to 3 doctors before, but they said there was nothing to worry about. Yesterday we went to an ENT specialist, and he said that her thyroid is swollen. He prescribed several tests. I am attaching the reports. Please tell me what they mean?

I have a thyroid condition and am taking medication, which keeps it under control. Lately, I have been experiencing frequent memory problems and difficulty recalling things or speaking clearly. This is affecting me both at work and personally. Could this be related to my thyroid, or should I consult a specialist? Please guide me.
