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?

I've been on Lexapro for my panic disorder and GAD, and it's really helped with the panic. But lately, by the end of the workday, I'm feeling stressed and having trouble focusing. I'm thinking about trying some CBD oil to help with that. My local vape shop has this CBD oil that's 100% CBD with no THC, and it comes in different concentrations. I'm considering adding a bit to my vape juice. Do you think it's okay to mix CBD oil with Lexapro?

While 100% CBD oil (no THC) is generally considered safe, it's recommended to consult your neurophysician before mixing CBD oil with Lexapro, as CBD can interact with the liver enzyme CYP3A4, potentially affecting Lexapro's metabolism and efficacy, and individual reactions may vary.

I'm Nikhil Gunjal from Ghatkopar, Mumbai, and I'm really worried because for the past two years, I've been dealing with what I believe are effects of black magic. It feels like someone is harming my body, and it's really frustrating not being able to identify who might be doing this. I'm convinced it's something external causing harm and even have proof to support my concerns. Can you offer any guidance or suggest what steps I can take to address this situation?
