I am 50 plus and have not established myself in my personal and professional life. I was preoccupied with my appearance especially my hair which never fell in place. It became a obsession later which transferred to handwashing ocd and masturbation also. I never socialised in my college days because I was unhappy with the way I appeared especially my hair. This created problems in my professional and personal life. It took me 6 years to pass my studies instead of 3 years. I neglected my studies and also developed suicidal tendencies. Wherever I worked though for a few years my colleagues and staff used to tell bahut sochta hai. I used to think about my appearance especially my hair wherever I used to work. I couldn't perform on the job because of this issue and ocd handwashing issue. I used to do whatever pleased me and did few wrong things too which affected me and my family. I regret doing the wrong things. I got married lately and my wife supports me. I also suffer from premature ejaculation. I had approached a renowned psychiatrist and he diagnosed me with overthinking, fog mind, disturbed sleep, ADHD and ocd, preoccupied with various thoughts like my appearance, tempted to hand washing after getting my hands soiled etc. I have a very very poor memory and concentration. I do not know what to do in life. My aim is to feel light headed, clarity of mind, no confusion and good memory. I want medicine to fix my mind. I would be glad if I get a remedy. I wish to take very very few medicines. If possible you may suggest me 2 to 3 different combination of medicines so that I can choose the one which fits me. I would prefer tablets, capsules wherever possible

Doctors' responses

Your symptoms suggest OCD, overthinking, poor concentration, disturbed sleep, and mental fatigue. Take Option 1 (Mind calming & memory) • Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food • Ashwagandha 500 mg – 1 capsule at bedtime Option 2 (Focus & concentration) • Mentat – 2 tablets twice daily after food • Ashwagandha 500 mg – 1 capsule at bedtime Option 3 (Anxiety, sleep & mental clarity) • Saraswatarishta 15 ml + equal water after dinner • Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily For premature ejaculation • Ashwagandha 500 mg – 1 capsule twice daily after food Continue your psychiatrist’s treatment regularly, as OCD and persistent overthinking usually respond best to a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle measures.
