How to treat fear and hallucination?
human
Why do I feel this way?It's every day, throughout the day and into the night. I have this horrible feeling and thoughts about my organs exploding, especially my heart then I will feel pains in my chest and abdominal area and it keeps me up at night until I get so tired I pass out. I'm afraid to fall asleep in fear I won't wake up. I'm only 19 years old and I have been scared like this for about a year now and throughout the day and night i tend to hallucinate it scares me. I smoke cigarettes but I don't do drugs, I was diagnosed with depression and recently ADD but I was thinking maybe it's anxiety? I guess my question is where do I go from here. Should I see a doctor? What could be causing this?

Hello,You are very righr in suspecting anxiety as the root problem. All other symptoms like.sadness amd sleep issues have built over anxiety in your body.I would advice that you must see a psychiatrist near your home, and listeneing to your symptoms i think you will have good response to vebalafaxine 37.5mg, need to incresse it after seeing initial response.Please donot worry so mch, its completely manageable condition, almost all symptoms show good imrovement in few day only and you will be able to enjoy life like previous.Hope this helps youDr. Manisha GopalMD psychiatry
