Hello!
Thaks for seeking healthcare magic to solve your queries.
I must admit that your complains are very vague and it is difficult to pinpoint the type of illness you might be having. Firstly, you should get yourself investigated for a complete blood count, a thyroid assay and liver function tests. If everything come normal, then probably depression is something which can explain all your complains. Still before zooming in to this diagnosis , it is always advisable to get yourself evaluated by a psychiatrist.If it stand to be depression, then you should be doing good with a course of antidepressants and some behavioural and cognitive therapies.
Hope I am able to solve your concerns.

Hello.......
Thanks for your query. I can understand your concern with the symptoms. It is possible that you are suffering from a depressive disorder that can explain your symptoms. However, you would require ruling out of anemia, thyroid disorders and an assessment by a general physician before considering the possibility of depressive disorder. Effective anti-depressant medication and psychotherapy (eg cognitive behavioural therapy) are likely to be beneficial if we arrive at the diagnosis of depressive disorder. Hope you found the information useful.
