Online consultation for anxiety and stress
Anxiety is common and treatable. It shows up in the body as well as the mind: a racing heart, tight chest, stomach upsets, poor sleep. A doctor checks for physical causes such as thyroid problems, explains what is happening, and plans treatment, which can include talking therapy, lifestyle changes and, where needed, medicine.
An online consult can help with
- Constant worry that is hard to control
- Panic attacks: sudden fear with a racing heart and breathlessness
- Trouble sleeping because of stress
- Stress at work, in studies or at home that is affecting daily life
- Wanting to talk to someone privately before seeing a psychiatrist
See a doctor in person if
- Thoughts of ending your life or harming yourself: call 112, or Tele-MANAS on 14416 (free, 24×7), now
- Chest pain, fainting, or breathlessness for the first time: go to an emergency department or call 108 to rule out a heart problem
- Shaking, sweating, seeing things or a fit after suddenly stopping alcohol, sleeping pills or anxiety tablets: go to an emergency department or call 108
- Hearing voices, or feeling that people are against you: see a psychiatrist in person soon
- Unable to eat, sleep or look after yourself for days
