Brief Answer:
Hi

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.

Important aspects of your query are:
•     26 year old male
•     Known family history of depression in brother and father.
•     Symptoms started after 17 years of age
•     Complaints of: Anxiety, doubts, phobia, guilt, negative emotions and poor coordination of thought-emotions.

From your case history it appear that you are having problem of anxiety, depression and phobia. Genetic factors play around 80% role in such cases.

This problem usually occur due to neurotransmitter imbalance in brain (usually involving serotonin and noradrenalin). Medical treatment is very effective for such cases. Usually patient start responding in 2-4 weeks. Non drug treatment like relaxation exercises and cognitive behavior therapy are also helpful to some extent in such cases.

Apart from this there is need to rule out some medical causes:
•     Vitamin deficiency: Get serum B12 and D3 level done. Start multi vitamins as they are easily available.
•     Side effect of substance use: Stop use if present.
•     Thyroid related problem: get thyroid hormonal assay (T3/T4/TSH) done.

As you are in XXXXXXX you can meet me personally. For info you can visit my official website www.99doctor.com.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.

Wish you good health.
