Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am the mother of a 47 year old son who has not worked for over a year. He has trouble sleeping, does not eat well, has no energy, does not leave the house and does not talk with old friends. We are very concerned about him and would like to know how to find the right help for him.
Hi, Considering the symptoms you have mentioned, it is possible that your son might be having some form emotional stress. It seems like clinical depression to me, this is considering he's otherwise healthy. A psychiatric consultation is what I would suggest.
