Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

Although you have mentioned that you are certain that you are suffering from depression, as a psychiatrist, I would like to explore other symptoms of depression as well like your predominant mood state, sleep, appetite, body energy, confidence, etc.

In any case, you should consult a psychiatrist. In case you have depression, you can be treated effectively with medications. Medications like sertraline, escitalopram are effective as well as safe. In addition, you can start doing exercise on a daily basis which will help you feel better.

Best wishes.
