  • Quitting Prozac cold turkey?

    HI, I am sorry to hear that you're suffering from anxiety and depression. While it is very important to take medications regularly, some medications, including Prozac, can stay in the system for a while. The symptoms most likely will not come back immediately for 2 reasons: 1. The current dose is low, 2. Prozac has a long half life, meaning it might stay in the system for 2-3 weeks. In any case, you have to inform your doctor about it. Also, store medications in accessible, secure places. Best of luck. READ MORE

  • Can anxiety make your throat feel tight?

    Yes, anxiety can be manifested in many different ways, such as tightness in the chest and/or throat, dry mouth, tremors (shakes) numbness, and tension in the different parts of the body. It can also vary in intensity from mild to very intense sensations. If you’re experiencing any of the listed symptoms quite often, you might benefit from the professional consultation, where your symptoms will be evaluated comprehensively. Best of luck. READ MORE

  • We have been married 63 years and are on the verge of divorce?

    Hi, Meningioma is usually a very slow growing, benign tumor. It looks like the first operation was successful and at present, you are properly monitored. I hope the recently discovered meningioma will not cause you any trouble. I also think that after the surgery you've become more vulnerable and sensitive. It happens after the emotional and physical stress. I also see that you've stayed in marriage much longer than many other couples. The problem that is bothering you now might disappear spontaneously. If you continue feeling lost or uncomfortable, you might need to seek professional help, I mean therapy. Good luck. Wishing the best. READ MORE

  • Is major depression a disability?

    Hi, Major depression can have various manifestations and impacts on a person’s functionality, from minor, manageable discomfort to severe disability. I know many who can work with compensated major depression and some who can’t. Disability status should be determined after the response to the medication trial. If the person is experiencing an episode of MD, and has partial or no response to treatment, temporary disability claim can be filed. Permanent disability for MD will require more time for determination. It usually happens after several episodes of failed treatment. Afterwards, it depends on the length and severity of the course of condition. In any case, psychiatric consultation is necessary. Hope this will be helpful. Good luck to you, Dr. M READ MORE

  • Am I depressed or is it just my thoughts going wild?

    Hi, Thanks for your question and I am also happy to see that you are considering professional help. Conditions that should be ruled out: burnout, stress, medical reasons (like thyroid problems for instance, depression). I always recommend starting with the physical exam and lab tests, followed by the consultation with the psychiatrist. I have a feeling that a small dose of antidepressant might be effective. Think positive! Good luck. Respectfully, Dr. Maia READ MORE

  • Panic attack or heart attack?

    Hi, I'm sorry about your scary experience. There are no dumb questions when it comes to one's health! Panic attack symptoms can change over time. In your case, I would recommend to be seen by a primary care physician and have an EKG done to r/o any heart problem. While panic attacks come "out of the blue," the changes in presentations can be related to the recent stressful events. Wishing you a successful resolution of your problem. Best regards, Dr. M READ MORE

    Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. This is a question for the treating physician who is managing this problem.

  • How do you know when to come off antidepressants?

    It is a good question, but when and how might be debatable. Usually, if the person is doing well for at least 6 months on the same dose, we can consider gradually tapering the medication off. One should take into consideration if the person is doing well and some of the external stressors had been resolved. I am also considering a season. Best, READ MORE
