Hi, This Is Zhihan, I'm A Male And I'm 20.
Question: Hi, this is Zhihan, I'm a male and I'm 20. I'm currently studying in college. About once each week, I feel super exhausted together with a headache. In the past, I assumed that it is caused by studying too hard and taking a day off worked well. However, recently, I've had 3 days straight of symptoms and resting did not help. I also have a very depressive mood and my girlfriend is not happy also because I'm sad all the time. But given that I'm not a workaholic (only studying and doing internship 6 hours a day), I worry if I might be sick.
