I've been struggling with anxiety after my surgery and my mom is prone to panic attacks too. With the lockdown still going on, it's been really tough to manage. What can we do to cope with this at home?

While a complete and permanent cure for panic disorder is not always possible, various treatments can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks. These include psychotherapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and in some cases, medication, along with lifestyle adjustments and stress management techniques.

Question

I'm really worried because my friend gave me a tablet of duralast 30 mg without telling me what it was for, saying it would help with my headache. I took it, but now I'm feeling really horny and anxious about any other side effects I might experience. Can you please help me understand what to expect? I'm kind of scared.

Question

I'm dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, especially when the phone rings out of the blue. It really freaks me out. My doctor gave me an antidepressant called Mitocent 30 mg to help with this. I'm a bit worried about any long-term side effects I might face if I keep taking it. Also, how long am I supposed to stay on this medication? I'd really appreciate any advice on how to handle this situation.
