Need medication for having scary thoughts after a death of family member
Patient: hi I am 16 years old and I am scared of everything, I can't shower or use the toilet because I thinkSomeone will get me and I can't watch a scary movie or a documentary about anything. My parents think this is because I witnessed my grandma die and her funeral die whenI was four at Pakistan. Doctor: HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, you have specific phobia. In that case, you need proper treatment in form of antidepressant and behavioral therapy. Antidepressant would help to control phobic thoughts and exposure therapy would help to decrease this false behavior. Better to consult a psychiatrist and psychologist for proper diagnosis. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
