Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are going through a difficult time during your problems. From the description of your problems, it appears that you may be suuering from an anxiety-related problem - probably panic attacks with agoraphobia.

Since this seems to be distressing you quite a lot, it is important to seek professional help. So, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further help. Effective treatment is available in the form of medication and counselling. So, please don't hesitate to seek professional help.


Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
Consultant Psychiatrist
