Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

There is history of multiple drug abuse like binge alcohol intake, smoking, cocaine intake and weed. Weed is marihuana and its use is known to precipitate acute psychosis which is characterised by intense restlessness, anxiety, suspiciousness and paranoid ideation. The symptoms like anxiety and paranoia are occurring due to weed or canbabis smoking only and not due to masturbation. Methadone is also known to cause paranoid ideation. I would strongly advise you to stop using the drugs. Multiple drug use results in cocktail effect and can prove serious. Consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment and detoxification.

Masturbation is a safe practice and it is not associated with any chemical imbalance. No need to fear from that.


Thanks
