REMARKS
This is a disease which is totally depending on your own activities online.
It is such mental stress that we created by our own activities.
We must keep in mind that Google can’t provide any kind of solution to your disease.
There are lots of things that must be judged before indicating a disease.
Your age, physical structure, weight, previous records are unknown to Google.
So, how could it possible to provide such a proper report about your problem for Google!
