What Causes Restlessness, Anger And Anxiety When Staying Alone At Home?

I ve noticed that when I m holed up for a day, like sick at home, I always get this feeling that I need to do something. I have to get out of the house or I m going to go crazy. I can t stop pacing around, fidgeting with everything I see. I start to get angry and just feel like pounding my head on a wall. When people suggest things to me, for example, walk across the street to Walmart and buy things I know I need or put the license plate cover on my car, I ll pay you I feel like these suggestions aren t good enough and they just annoy me. This is happening a lot and I can t stand it

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Anger, restlessness and anxiety are possible if someone spends many hours a day at home. Depression may in some cases happen as well.
You will need to have treatment to assist you with the symptoms. SSRI medications (sertraline or citalopram) are the first choice in this case.
Seeing a psychotherapist is helpful as well to learn how to handle fears and negative emotions.

I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
