Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,
Going by what you have mentioned, you are under stress definitely. Whether this is because of depression or anxiety disorder will need further information like duration of these symptoms, how you feel, whether you have lost interest in doing things which you liked once, appetite loss, etc. In any case, you will be needing treatment either in form of medications or therapy sessions. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist. You might need treatment with one of the SSRIs like sertraline, paroxetine, etc. You can also start to exercise on a daily basis.
Best wishes.
