Suggest Treatment For Depression

default
Posted on Mon, 16 Jun 2014
Question: I keep self sabotaging myself and end up incredibly isolated at work and with friends, I am alone all the time. I am unable to complete my work. My mind keeps wandering, I am not sleeping well, and am stressed and irritable. I was exercising daily an hour and a half and eating right, but this just led to me becoming more aggressive. Not exercising or light exercise just leads to depression. Want to be successful and not isolated.

Brief Answer:
Physical exercise may help

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, it is very usual that you get depressed when you stop exercising where you were regularly exercising in past.

I suggest you restart the same schedule and the involvement in exercise. Better would be outdoor games with game partners. This not only puts you physically but also socially active.

Also, do meditation which does help to have relaxed mind and control on emotions which does help to get rid of the present condition.

If the above methods fail, then you may have to consult a Psychiatrist who can counsel you after taking all the information which may give him/her a clue into the root cause of your present psychological status.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Regards,
