How Is Depression, High Sex Drive And Poor Sleep Related To Nystagmus?

I ve noticed that many mornings when I wake up I have nystagmus (my eyes suddenly jump up and down quite noticeably, the rate of those movements is every second or such). That usually lasts only couple minutes. It even happened couple of times during the day but very briefly and in a very mild form. How could this be related to my health problems? My health problems are: 1.Abnormally high sex drive (I can definitely say sex addiction) and I HATE IT. 2.Depression, Anxiety and Depersonalization (probably all caused by the 1. problem). 3.Poor sleep, that may be 8+ hours but it s pretty fragmented. 5.Horrible short term memory, horrible concentration, horrible brain performance (even though I am not stupid at all, just very slow at thinking and my mental clarity is soooo much decreased these days). 6.I ve been diagnosed with OCD/Anxiety as of October 2013. 7.I also seem to have a lot of signs of a high-histamine person, but I still haven t tested it. 8.I have IgE thrice as high as the upper range limit. 9.I have skin rashes, a lot of nasal secret all the time, yet no allergy has ever been found. Other than that I seem to be perfectly physically healthy. What is going on!? :(

Psychiatrist Dr. Ashish Mittal's  Response
Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your primary problem appears to OCD, which is a type of anxiety disorder and may associated with sexual obsession leading to excessive sexual drive. In severe cases it may lead to depression.

For treatment you should meet nearby psychiatrist. Medicine like SSRI group of medicines and non drug treatment like CBT is effective in your condition.

Same time you should examined and investigated for early morning nystagmus from the neurologist.

Wish you good health and all the best.

Regards,
