Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

I can understand your concern and feelings. Your narration clearly suggests that you are likely suffering from depression.
For diagnosis of depression detail history and mental status examination are done by a psychiatrist.
Treatment of depression includes both medicines and psychotherapy.

In psychotherapy I prefer cognitive behavior therapy(CBT).In mild cases only CBT is sufficient. In moderate to severe cases initially medicines and then CBT is added. And later on medicines stopped gradually.

In medicines SSRI group of drugs(fluoxetine,paroxetine,sertraline, escitalopram) are main stay of the treatment.
Benzodiazepines group of drugs(clonazeapm,lorazepam or etizolam) are used initially for short duration for fast symptomatic relief.

In my opinion you must consult psychiatrist without hesitation as soon as possible. Earlier the treatment starts better the results.

Marriage is one of the severe stress factors. You did not mention any specific reason for your depression.

- Please let me know how all these started and increase and what are the factors behind it. After that I can give some useful comments which may help you.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further after your response.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
