Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I went through your query in detail. The symptoms that you have mentioned are highly suggestive of depressive episode. Feeling sad, crying without substantial reason, irritability, lack of energy and motivation, lack of sex drive, negative thinking.... all these symptoms are manifestations of depression.

I would suggest that you shouldn't delay or postpone seeking a psychiatric consultation any more. Yours is a condition which is highly amenable to treatment. Moreover, earlier the treatment is started, better is the response. Anti-depressants like sertraline or venlafaxine would be highly helpful.

Best wishes.
