Dr Ivo Ditah, thanks for the concern and sincerity.
I thought I had done a good job of explaining all my symptoms... Again, I am having either anxiety or depression type feelings after having a immediate care walk in appointment, were I was being treated for a Bacterial Infection early stages with extreme Coughing, throat congestion, raw red throat, medium headache (27 Mar thru 4 Apr 2017). I am through that now. I think the 7-days of pills did help with the bacterial Infection. I was just afraid it would come back on me since I had not finished out the 20 pills prescribed.
A bearing down feeling now negative thoughts/ feelings, very depressing type feel a groggy feeling. My eyes feel like I just awaken up. Cannot seem to think positively and have that good outlook for the day. Depressed type feelings. Things are coming down on me, drawing me down. A Sadden feeling has come over me.
No energy. No appetite at times this morning first thing and at 12-noon today.
This cough is gone, the sore throat or red throat from the coughing is gone, Not really a headache now, just feels a groggy sleepy like feeling, tired feelings now.
Thanks XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Has there been any changes in your life situation/relations?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed these symptoms fully. They are certainly in favor of a down mood. However, they are not conclusive for depression as a minimum of two weeks minimum. Before we get there, It will be important to review your live and see if there are any possible reasons why you might be feeling low. This might result from recent changes in relationship status, increased pressure from studies/work, etc. It is always good to do this as the treatment might nit always require pills. If there is no cause and this persists a minimum of two weeks, then I will suggest we get pills to address this. IT will be nice to exercise often and indulge in some of the things that you appreciate most.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me.

I wish you were doing a practice here. You do not know how much I appreciate this detail of areas to consider in your symptoms address Dr Ditah. Again, thank you.
My job pulls me from home every week all week and pressures of maintaining 2-house holds is evident here. You have helped me understand were my physician here did not even make an attempt to understand what I was feeling/ mood. I have reservation that some of this was the Medication, my current DR diagnosis when I went to the office appointment, some part of it sir. I work, I love what I do but, a lot of people would not believe all of the positions you are put in each day. I feel I am able to manage this in my mind maybe not completely clearing these pressures from my consensus.
Relationship with my wife is very good, passing 35 years together tomorrow a great match.
I am doing what you have suggested with staying with the exercise, doing at least a 50 minute walk each day. Definitely planning an RV trip for a few days to confirm this change the mood and scenery.
Again, thank you Dr Ditah, I am so grateful. I will be changing doctors here local soon. I felt no help for me in desperate need at this moment in time for me.
Thank God I had the internet to turn to here and HealthcareMagic.
