Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are feeling depressed and this seems to be affecting your routine life in many ways. There are different treatments for depression available - in the form of medication as well as psychological therapies.

However, it is important that you first have a proper and detailed assessment to arrive at a correct diagnosis, so that the appropriate treatment can be initiated. So, I would advise you to see a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and further treatment.


Wish you all the best.
