Brief Answer:
Please describe your symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

Yes I can help.
What symptoms do you have?
Do you have sleep issues?
Are you unable to do daily activities?
Are you suicidal?
Do you have low energy?

A mild case of sadness can be managed by doing regular yoga and meditation that you can learn in the classes
You should also continue doing your regular work
You may join any hobby classes
You can get any XXXXXXX done by temple priest
Ashwagandha is a herbal medicine that can be taken in dose of once a day for 2-3 weeks to raise energy
If symptoms are bad then you may need stronger medicines by a psychiatrist

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Seems like a bad time

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It seems to be a bad time and you need to keep faith and courage to go through it.
Amongst the solutions mentioned in the previous answer, an advance meditation program will help you the most. It helps in raising energy, reduce any stress and have better sleep.
You have mentioned symptoms of disturbed sleep, sadness and anger for no reason. These all do suggest a disturbed mind. But a diagnosis of depression requires certain criterion.
Medicine for mental health are prescription - only medicines that are prescribed by psychiatrist in person consultation.
Since you have sleep issues too, I will suggest a regular intake of Brahmi (instead of ashwagandha). Brahmi can help relax a disturbed mind. Also avoid bad company.
