Hello Mr XXXXXXX ........
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern with the symptoms. Difficulty in adapting to new places of work or stay can lead to stress related or adjustment related disorders like depressive disorder, anxiety disorders including panic attacks, adjustment disorder and other related disorders. A thorough psychiatric evaluation is necessary before reaching the diagnosis. We have effective anti-depressant medication; anti-anxiety medication like SSRI's as well as psychotherapy (eg cognitive behavioural therapy) that can help you significantly. Hence, have yourself evaluated as early as possible. Do clarify anything else you may want to.

Hello......
You require trained clinical psychologists or psychiatrists to perform psychotherapy. You can try from the psychiatry/psychology department of Osmania medical college if facilities for psychotherapy are available. The larger corporate hospitals should also have the facility. I would also suggest you try yoga, meditation and breathing relaxation exercises. Wish you speedy recovery.
