Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,

I can understand the distress you seem to be having. From what you have mentioned, you seem to be suffering from depression and as a result are having your symptoms.

You should seek psychiatric consultation without any further delay. Earlier the treatment is started, better is the response. Treatment with medications like sertraline or fluoxetine will be effective in overcoming your depression.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
