Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have impulse disorder and in that case, you need help of a psychiatrist to control it. You need low dose antidepressant and benzodiazepine that would help to control these symptoms. These drugs are not available over the counter and you need prescription for them. Better to take help of a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanka
