Doctors' responses
Your situation is not due to masturbation or anything like alcohol risk. The main issue is persistent Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can directly cause low energy, poor concentration, brain fog, and mood changes. When levels were <200, stopping support often leads to symptoms returning. This is a nutritional + absorption issue, not a behavioral problem. When to consult First consult a physician (MD medicine) to evaluate why B12 is low (diet, absorption, gut issue) Psychiatrist is not primary unless there is severe anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts Ayurvedic management (supportive + root level) 1. For dhatu poshan and nervous system Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food Ashwagandha Churna – 5 grams at night with warm milk 2. For improving absorption and agni Agnitundi Vati – 1 tablet before lunch and dinner 3. For overall nourishment (similar to rasayana) Chyawanprash – 1 teaspoon in morning with milk Diet (very important) If non-vegetarian: include eggs, fish regularly If vegetarian: milk, curd (daytime), paneer, ghee daily Add soaked black raisins + almonds in morning Avoid excessive junk, tea, and late-night eating
