Hello marissaegnolen
Welcome to HCM

Felling low for long time, not taking interest in anyone and social withdrawal, lack of energy and fatiguability, change in sleep pattern, crying spells and lack of motivation all are pointing to Depressive Disorder.
Kindly dont ignore the condition and visit a good psychiatrist for proper medicines. Treatment is available as-
- Medicines as SSRI group or SNRI group are highly effective.
- Psychological treatment like COGNITIVE THERAPY is also beneficial

So visit a psychiatrist ASAP
Hope i cleared your doubt.
take care

Hi there, thanks for asking. Definitely it could be a depression. Because it is the first time that it has happened you should ask the doctor to check your blood to see if it is related to thyroid function, calcium shortage or any other problem in the serum. If you are overweight, one of the things that could be responsible is sleep apnea, so you may ask your doctor to do a full assessment. If these problems are ruled out, then depression is diagnosed and fortunately you can choose to use medication or talk sessions to treat it. I wish you the best health.

Hello...
Thanks for your query. As you had reported of: lethargy, lack of attention and concentration, ideas of hopelessness, feeling low and poor academic performance point towards a depressive disorder. The management includes:
1. Medication like SSRI's that are antidepressants
2. Psycho/talk therapy techniques like cognitive behavioural therapy
I would advise you consult a psychiatrist for assessment and starting on appropriate management as early as possible.

Hi,
thanks for Health care magic.
After going through your history, I feel You are having major depressive disorder. one should also rule out physical cause of depression like thyroid Dysfunction or Vitamin B12 deficiency.

You should consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and treatment. you may be benefited by anti depressant drugs like sertraline or fluoxetine.
meanwhile you can start stress management and relaxation techniques.
thanks
