Question by Ji: Questions about “benzos”, antidepressants, and adderall?
I’m 19 and female.

I have some social anxiety. It’s minor in comparison to some (I can still leave my house comfortably) but it acts up at times (in crowded places, social situations, when I have to make an important phone call, etc). It’s becoming a big inconvenience.

I have signs of depression (lethargy, weight gain, emotional swings, concentration problems, suicidal thoughts, self harm). I sleep a lot. I also sit and do nothing a lot.

I’m in premed, I just finished my first year but I’m still taking spring courses. I’m in anatomy right now and we had a huge practical exam yesterday, I didn’t start studying until 24 hours before. I wasn’t procrastinating (“I’ll study after I finish watching TV/hanging out”) I just spend a lot of time sleeping and sitting. I have no motivation. I can’t afford not to be able to focus anymore. My GPA dropped so much from first to second semester that I could be kicked out of my program.

Question by John S: OCD, Anti-psychotic, Depression, Ritalin and Cocaine?
Well this is a 15 year history, I’ll try to be as as brief and concise as I can. Currently I’m 28, when I was 17 graduating from high school I started to have OCD related issues. Also, since primary school I had lot’s of attention and execution problems -mainly in the logical-matematical area- and was diagnosed years later with passive ADD. I may add that I come from a destroyed family, father not loving my mom, strict father, lots of fear to him, a brave mother dealing with this.
