Psychiatrist Questions Psychiatrist

Please suggest your opinion?

I am a 30 years male. People call me psycho and I know I have a problem in 2016. I consulted a psychiatrist and he told me his name but I don’t remember. He prescribed sizodon, nitrosun10 mg, Lopez 2mg, and another tablet also. I stopped those medicines in 2018. Now, 6 months before I start I have the same mood. My problem is overthinking and I like to be alone and I don’t like crowds. When I see crowds I feel they are negative. When I'm alone I hear some talking sounds and some crying also I think I am wasting my life and want suicide and I get angry. I don't listen to others when my parents or brother wants to speak with me I argue. I think I am not psycho I am a human with feelings but they have broken me and feel I am acting. What can I do?

I am sorry you are going through these tough times. Why did you stop your medications in 2018? Did you go through something (an episode) in your childhood? What is it you overthinking and why? When we keep on overthinking all the time, it invariably leads to a mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. These disorders, in turn, reinforce overthinking. Under both conditions, we are deeply mired in distressing thoughts. Studies have shown that overthinking leads to serious emotional distress.

I'm sorry to learn that people call you "psycho" it is uncalled for and yes, you are a human being with feelings and you deserve care like the rest of us. People are often ignorant about things they don't understand. I am not a psychiatrist but I will do my best to put in my two-cents: Based on the medications you listed, it appears you were being treated by the psychiatrist to help restore balance with the way your brain sends messages to other parts of your brain. It is not unusual for people to need help with this. For example, one of these messengers in our brain is called norepinephrine and when we don't have enough of it we become depressed. Too much of it creates stress and anxiety. Sometimes we need medication to help balance these levels of our messengers in the brain. You described hearing talking and crying sounds when you're alone. You also described feeling difficult emotions, intrusive thoughts, and perhaps urges to act. I strongly recommend that you see a psychologist and a psychiatrist. You don't have to deal with all of this alone! A psychiatrist can help you get back on the right medications that will give you relief by reducing the intensity of your symptoms, and a psychologist will help you work through your feelings and help you with your thoughts and behaviors. I think a cognitive behavioral therapist would be an excellent fit.
You most certainly are a human being with feelings. And you have been shaped by your experiences as a child. Since you are having such trouble, you really should reach out to your psychiatrist to reinitiate treatment. If you ever have thoughts of hurting yourself, please call 911 or the Suicide Hotline 800-273-8255. You are responsible for your own life at this point, so if you don't like how you are feeling inside, if you'd rather feel happy more often, then you need to take action to change that.
Simple answer is find a team of professionals in psychology and psychiatry who will work together to help you with your mental health issues. Need a combination of therapy and medication based on what you described.
It is in my professional opinion you should be in at weekly therapy along with medication. Those medications are often prescribed for antipsychotic, anti-anxiety and anti-insomnia purposes. You're reporting auditory hallucinations and severe anxiety along with agoraphobia. These conditions are treatable with medications and effective psychotherapy.
