Dear Dr. Bibbi
I have been reading your column on the newspaper and it is indeed very interesting
the way you answer and also solve some people problems. I am 32 year of age. I
have my own health problem that has been disturbing me for about four years now
but could not get solution to it. Sometime in 2009 I fall ill the type of the sickness
is that, I started having some difficulty in sleeping which lasted for some
weeks. My head became so heavy my concentration became very poor, my body trembles
also all my muscles seems to contract involuntarily especially my legs. I could
not rest generally in fact it is almost impossible for me to explain exactly
how I feel.
I went to see a doctor in a general hospital in Jos. After conducting some
test he came up with a result. The result he says was anxiety neurosis. Which
he gave me some drugs to take and see him in two weeks actually when I used the
drugs I felt better. When I graduated from school, I was posted to Abuja in year
2010 since then I have been suffering from this problem on and off. I went to
hospitals any time I have this problem, but I am sorry to say most of the doctors
do not listen to my complaints they only quickly write drug for me to go and
buy. And I learnt that such drugs are prescription drugs and could be habit
forming drugs. I decided not to take any drugs again unless I get somebody who
will attend to me very well. Doctor, could this be a psychiatric or
psychological case? What do you suggest that I should do? Could you please direct
me to a specialist who could handle this problem well? This problem is
seriously making my life very, very uncomfortable. It seems like I easily get
angry. That is unlike me. I am running out of patience; please help me. Right
now that I am writing this message I am feeling so terrible everything seems to
me irritating. I am currently staying in Abuja. Please reply me soonest. Thank
you.

Dear Leroy,
Ask to see a psychiatrist. Be very plain with him. Tell all. He’ll help you
immensely. A neurosis affects your moods; a psychosis affects your reality and
personality - like your anger. A psychiatrist is best. A clinical psychologist
next but these are even more rare. A very astute physician or an excellent
doctor is the very least. They’ll help you. If you need us, we’ll sort you out,
too. Call the help-lines-- 2348028240983; 2348033466574;2348057441699; 2348093142261
Cheers
Dr.Caleb Bibbi Oluranti
