Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am Mezhu, 24 years of age, male and I am a student in Delhi. I have a problem of shaking and blank mind whenever I face people for presentation or public speech. And I have tried so many times to overcome this fear , but still it's not working, can you please help?
I can understand your concern. You seem to be suffering from performance anxiety. I would further like to know if you are also anxious in any other social situations, or do you have any problems talking to strangers, etc., for arriving at a proper diagnosis.
For the problem of performance anxiety, you can consult a psychiatrist. Medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and propranolol are useful in this condition. Behavior therapy methods which will include leaning relaxation techniques and other methods to overcome your fear will also be very helpful.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
