Anxiety, Vitamin B12 Deficiency, Mood Swings, Depressions, Fear Of Paralysis Of Legs Or Sinking Of Heart. What Is The Reason?

Hello,
I am a 24 year old girl with problems related to anxiety. I was never fearless till the last year and used to live life to the fullest but now i m experiencing certain health related issues. I have a vitamin B12 deficiency followed by D3 deficiency. I have also become anxious and an anxiety patient due to severe symptoms of the vitamin deficiencies. I fear a lot. Due to fear i always think that my heart will sink one day or my legs will get paralysed. Many times I find it difficult to walk. My weight is 65kgs and it also keeps on fluctuating. I experience mood swings, depression, doesnt feel like going to work, even liitle tasks looks like a big challenge on daily basis. Kindly give me some suggestion whether which specialist will be able to solve my problem. I have already been to heart specialists and neuro physicians but they say that i m fine. But I m the one who is suffering. Kindly recommend some specialist for my case.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.
You are having Depression with anxiety symptoms. You should consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management.
Apart from Vitamin B12 and D supplement, Doctor may prescribe you antidepressant drugs like peroxetine or sertraline or desvenlafaxin.

Meanwhile you should also do stress management and relaxation therapy like breathing exercise and yoga.

I hope you will be fine soon.

Thanks.
