Am I Depressed Or Just Stressed?

I dont know if I`m depressed or just stressed, I can`t sleep unless i`m dead tired and I just dont want to do anything, when i do wake up, I dont want to go out, I dont want to talk to anyone. Eating a lot more than usual. I was just off for a week, the whole time, I couldn`t do anything except think about my life, or think about work. I dont know what to do, or who to talk to.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I read your query and can understand what you might be going through. The symptoms that you have mentioned are suggestive of depression.

I would advise you to seek a psychiatric consultation for the same. Thorough evaluation will be needed and accordingly treatment with anti-depressants might be started. Current lot of anti-depressants are safe and very effective. You can also start exercising daily, which will also help you overcome your current situation.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
