Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry to read about your breakup and resulting symptoms that you are facing. You seem to be depressed and if even after 6 months, the symptoms are persisting, you should consider starting treatment for the same.

You should seek a psychiatric consultation for the same. Ant-depressants like escitalopram or sertraline will be highly helpful in your case. In addition, you should start exercising daily. It will help you relax and feel better. Additional option of treatment with supportive psychotherapy can also be considered. It will consists of multiple sessions focusing on letting out your emotions. You can discuss with your psychiatrist regarding the same.

I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
