Hello
Thanks for asking
Feelings of being depressed, suicidal ideas, tiredness could occur due to depressive disorder. You have mood swings since childhood which can also occur due to depression. Sexual dysfunction also can occur due to depression. As you have suicidal ideation so I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for treatment and evaluation. Treatment in form of medicines and psychological methods is available.
-Medicines like SSRIs are mainstay of treatment. Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are commonly used antidepressants. These drugs are relatively safe and free of serious side effects. On long term use delayed ejaculation can be seen but that is reversible. Some drugs like Mirtazapine, Bupropion etc are free of sexual side effects and can be used without any fear. These medicines require prescription so consult a psychiatrist for the prescription of these drugs.
-Psychological methods like Relaxation exercises as yoga, meditation help to keep individual relaxed and increase the confidence. Cognitive therapy help to find out faulty thought process and cognitive distortions and with multiple sittings cognitive and thought restructuring is done. Counselling is also useful in depression in young age.
-For sexual problems I would advise you to take Tantex Forte (2 table twice a day). The medicine is herbal medicines and need no prescription. The medicine help to improve erection of penis. For severe sexual problems prescription medicines like Sildenafil, Tadalafil etc are used.
-I would advise you to take diet rich in protein and carbohydrates and low in fats. This helps to decrease depression. Have quality of sleep at least 7 hours a day to keep yourself refreshed all day. Exercise daily to hasten recovery. Avoid alcohol, tobacco as they worsen depressive symptoms.
Thanks, hope this helps you. If you have more doubts you can ask again in follow up. Please provide more details of your symptoms in follow up question.
