Suggest Remedy For Irrational Fear And Lack Of Confidence

I am 48 years old man, peace loving person.

I am very well aware that Self medication is extremely dangerous & hence I would like to take your advise before taking any medicine. I will be highly obliged if you prescribe/advise medicine for me.



Opponents (not really enemy) when he express anger or use threatening words or somebody stares at me (even minors) take away my confidence & fear immediately creeps into mind. If I see the same person again & again same situation arises, it takes away my courage even to see him. One must have basic courage in ones life to deal any problems in ones life. So this is my problem Sir, fear & lack of confidence.



We all know living with fear means living in hell. Jo dar gaya woh mar gaya!



Kindly help me. I read psychological books but It is of no use. Verbally I can understand & even convince others but when we face actually, words defeated. As you Doctors explain how brain works, the chemical variation in the brain leads to such type of problems. If it is so then it must be because of physical factors may be due to lack of nutrients? I dont want to play with Mind. If anything goes wrong then life is gone, thats sure. Hence I honestly request you to help me to solve my FEAR PROBLEM (Fear Propensity).

NOTE : CAN I GET REPLY THRU EMAIL PLEASE.

Thanks n regards

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have social phobia and in that case, you need antidepressant as well as low dose benzodiazepine that would help to control anxiety symptoms. You can also try some relaxation exercise and exposure therapy to decrease anxiety symptoms. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
