Suggest Medication For Depression,fatigue,insomnia And Headache
Ok so I have these symptoms which are related to depression:
-difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
-fatigue and decreased energy
-feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
-insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
-irritability, restlessness
-overeating or appetite loss
-persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment
but the thing is I am not that sad. Like I get sad and then all of a sudden I get happy and I have energy. It's like this all day I'm sad one minute then happy then next and It's just a big cycle. Usually when I am sad I just force myself to be happy. I am fine at school(but I think that's because I don't want people to think I am sad) but i am mostly sad at home.Is it depression or something else? Thank you.

Hi dear,
thank you for your query.
What ever you described about your self is suggestive of depression but duration of illness and mental status examination is necessary for proper diagnosis.
In depression also mood lability is there.
You need to consult psychiatrist for treatment.
Medication and psychotherapy works best for you.
in medication SSRI, SNRI, NASA etc and psychotherapy particularly cognitive behavior therapy works best.
Thank you
