Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM

I have read your question and I can understand your problem. You have symptoms like poor work performance, poor learning, poor concentration some times. You have also complaints like imagining things or living in miracles. You are also concerned about masturbation habit since last 12 years.
See first of all I would like to tell you that masturbation is completely a healthy practice and it is not associated with any mental abnormality. There is nothing wrong with masturbation. The symptoms you have mentioned are most likely due to some depressive illness with some co-morbid obsessive ideations. I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for expert evaluation. Medicines like SSRI (Escitalopram you have taken already) are very useful in such condition.

Thanks
