Suggest Treatment For Depression

this looks like bipolar disorder, start meds
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The most important thing here is - both low and high part you are feeling is "yourself"....the low part is due to depression and high part next day is mania.
You have most probably developed bipolar disorder now. This is a type of psychiatric illness in which - one time (this phase may last for few hours to many months) he feel low/off/lethargic/reduced confidence, etc and in next phase (whose duration may again vary greatly similar to previous one) characterised by high energy level, positivity/ increase working capacity/wishfullness etc., and elated mood etc.
You should start a mood stabiliser like- lithium or sodium valporate or oxcarbazepine.
Get some blood tests- CBC, TSH, lipid profile, RFT and LFT.
As you have mentioned, these fluctuations (mood swings) have become severe now-I want to inform you that they may further increase in intensity and distrupt the daily functioning and even your relations.
With meds you will start feeling better in few days only.
Please see a psychiatrist and discuss the above points.
Feel free to ask more questions for further clarification.
