Suggest Remedy For Depression

I'm super down right now. Its been a few days since I've felt like me. I am super busy with school right now but can't seem to motivate myself to study and I called in sick from work today for no good reason and thats just not me. I don't like feeling like this, its scary. I'm 21 year old female.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
This means there are features of depression. Now let me do some leading questions. Do you enjoy the pleasurable things like watching favourite TV serial or music as you used to enjoy earlier, do you like talking to others or you prefer to be alone now a days, do you feel sad most of the time and think negative about future, do you have enough sound sleep, do you feel fresh at morning, do you ever think yourself guilty of whatever wrong happened to you? If more of the above answer are in negative then you appears to be stressed and depressed.

There are few antidepressant medications which can bring back your happiness soon. medicines can be tapered and stopped gradually once you remain better for few months. many people hesitate in taking psychiatric medicines but these are miracle drugs which can change life.
