    Stress can trigger more dream states. The mind is actually more active at night and is processing information acquired. It also tries to integrate that info. Dreams or nightmares may reflect the mind's attempt to resolve some inner conflict or issues. READ MORE

  • Should we go to counseling before getting divorced?

    It depends on what your objectives are. If you want to save the marriage, it could improve communication, trust, and how to relate. If it is intended to confirm the decision to divorce, it sounds like you have already made the decision. Dr. Purewal READ MORE

  • How can I get over my fear of heights?

    I would suggest getting in touch with a psychologist or social worker. The treatment is often an exposure based treatment whereas you directly confront the fear. The goal is to overcome the anxiety by dealing with it. READ MORE

  • Is borderline personality disorder serious?

    Yes, it is a serious and complicated diagnosis. Personality disorders are pervasive by nature. Borderline is characterized by a fractured sense of identity that is marked by anger, flippant attitudes (hot/cold), and impulsivity. The concern becomes if there are self harm tendencies, which may lead to hospitalization. Dialect behavioral therapy is the gold standard for treatment. READ MORE

  • How can one control anger?

    I would recommend him taking an anger management class. He may struggle to see that he has an anger issue and would be careful on how you bring it up. READ MORE

  • Do you have to be married for couples therapy?

    You don't need to be married to be in couples therapy. You and your boyfriend will need to go in with an open mind. If either of you are going into the endeavor to have the other solely change, it will not be of benefit. Other need to work on the relationship issue. READ MORE

  • Is Talkspace actually effective?

    I have not heard of talkspace prior to your question. Tele mental health and online services are growing aspect of medicine. I understand the financial constraints affecting your choices. The pros of online services is that you are receiving some care, but the downside is that it is via consultation over a device. Psychotherapy, from my biased opinion is more affective in person. Many providers will charge on a sliding scale - charge based on income bracket, which may be worth asking. If you are close to a university, they may have a mental health clinic that charges little, but will be seeing a graduate student who is supervised by a licensed provider. READ MORE

  • Would an absent father affect my daughter's mental health?

    Separation can have a toll anyone and specifically children. The degree of impact can be mediated by having open discussions with your child. Daughters tend to have later adolescent issues, particularly around self worth, value, and relationships. Discussions around healthy self view, allowing her to express her opinions, thought, questions regarding the separation (age appropriate). Parental conflict and bad mouthing the other parent has an equally harmful impact on the child. Be honest in responding to questions, and role model healthy self care behaviors. READ MORE

  • Do antipsychotic medicines cause weight gain?

    Antipsychotics can contribute to weight gain. Such medications can also have long-term health consequences. I would highly encourage to talk with your daughter's provider about why it is being used. Psychotherapy with a cognitive approach should be used. READ MORE

  • I feel hungry all the time. Is it a psychological problem?

    It may be that you are not being satiated when you eat. A few things to consider would be to get a physical to rule out any medical issues like thyroid, worms, consult a nutritionist, and monitor your comfort eating. READ MORE

  • Is my daughter dependent on paracetamols? Could it be a psychological problem?

    I would recommend that she consult with a psychologist or psychiatrist to be evaluated. READ MORE

  • How can I overcome negativity at my work place?

    I would suggest thinking about what you value about your job beyond pay. I know pay is very important for quality of life but research had shown variables outside of play influence job and personnel satisfaction. I am referencing social support, degree of challenge, etc. If your company has an employee assistance program, they can st up counseling fre of charge. Ask your HR department. READ MORE

  • Is fear of closed spaces a real disorder?

    Yes, it is called claustrophobia and is an anxiety-based illness. There are some good therapies. I would recommend consulting with your daughter's pediatrician for a possible referral to a child psychologist if the fear is disrupting many areas of her life. READ MORE
