Talk to Psychiatry on Compulsive Addiction

Asking for Self, Male, 21 years old, Lahore

I am 21 years old and have been struggling with compulsive pornography use and masturbation for about 7 years. I have tried many times to quit, but the longest I have stayed away is around 20 days. After that, I usually relapse into binge sessions, often masturbating multiple times, yet I still feel mentally unsatisfied. It feels like my brain keeps craving more stimulation instead of feeling satisfied.

Over the years, I have lost interest in studying, spending time with family and friends, and activities I once enjoyed. I feel emotionally numb, irritable, constantly stressed about my career, and guilty about not being productive. These feelings often trigger another relapse, creating a cycle that I cannot break.

I am concerned that I may have developed tolerance or changes in my brain's reward (dopamine) system due to years of compulsive use. Could this be related to compulsive sexual behavior, depression, anxiety, or another condition? Is there any evidence-based medical treatment, medication, or therapy that can help reduce these compulsive urges and support recovery? I would appreciate a full evaluation and guidance

آپ نے اپنی مشکل بہت ایمانداری سے بیان کی ہے، اور یہ شرمندگی نہیں بلکہ مدد لینے کی ہمت ہے۔ بار بار porn دیکھنا، control نہ رہنا، binge کرنا اور پڑھائی، تعلقات اور دلچسپی متاثر ہونا compulsive sexual behaviour سے مل سکتا ہے۔ اس کا مطلب یہ نہیں کہ دماغ مستقل طور پر خراب ہو گیا ہے؛ اکثر stress، loneliness، anxiety، depression اور guilt اس چکر کو مضبوط کرتے ہیں۔ علاج میں therapy، triggers پہچاننا، porn access محدود کرنا، تنہائی اور رات کے screen time کو کم کرنا، ورزش، نیند اور روزانہ structured routine شامل ہیں۔ دوا بعض صورتوں میں مدد کر سکتی ہے، مگر صرف مکمل psychiatric assessment کے بعد۔ چونکہ یہ مسئلہ زندگی کے کئی حصوں کو متاثر کر رہا ہے، Marham پر تفصیلی consultation لے کر مناسب recovery plan بنوانا بہتر ہوگا۔ درست مدد سے اس چکر سے نکلنا ممکن ہے۔ ڈسکلیمر: یہ آن لائن معلومات عمومی رہنمائی کے لیے ہیں، مکمل تشخیص یا ذاتی علاج کا متبادل نہیں۔
