Suggest Treatment For Suicidal Thoughts And Aimless Life In A Person
Question: I tend to cry frequently even on very small issues: while reading news, or watching tv or just anything. I don't know what I want to achieve. I don't have any aim. Whether i should stay alone or with parents? I don't know people with whom i can share my personal stuff without caring about judgement. My family, colleagues, everybody is ok. Sometimes I'm sad without any reason. Many times I imagine myself committing suicide and think of people weeping. :(
Brief Answer:
It could be depression
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description it appears that you are having depression which is often characterized by sadness, decrease interest in almost all activities including pleasurable one, indecisiveness, poor attention and concentration in addition to sleep and appetite disturbance.
Most persons with depression feel miserable without any reason and that distinguishes it from normal sad experience. Having everything normal including parents, family collogues points toward possibility of depression rather than normal experience.
In my view you should see a psychiatrist without delay. He will ask you more questions to conform the diagnosis of depression and to rule out other disorders presenting in similar way such as bipolar disorder. Post evaluation he may prescribe medication or offer you psychotherapy after discussing with you.
I must assure you that in current times depression is completely treatable illness and there is excellent hope to recover from it.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
