Suggest Treatment For Stress And Social Phobia

I easily get irritated being around family and friends. I see life in a very negative way and rarely see the positive sides. I find myself growing away from my family, wife, step children and work. I stress very easily over the little things and some of the smallest things easily upset me. What is my problem?

Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. You have symptoms like irritation with family and friends, seeing life in negative aspect, poor social interaction with family members, stress in little day to day things etc. These symptoms could be occurring due to some anxiety disorder or mild to moderate depression. The symptoms you have mentioned could not be used to make proper diagnosis so detailed evaluation is needed to make diagnosis. Consult a psychiatrist for evaluation.

In mild anxiety and depression medicines like SSRIs are commonly used. Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are commonly used in such symptoms. Along with these medicines try relaxation exercises and yoga to keep yourself relaxed and to keep away anxiety. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
