Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I do understand the distress that you might be facing with your symptoms. The symptoms that you have mentioned are very suggestive of depressive episode.

I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist at the earliest. Earlier initiation of treatment has better prognosis. You will need anti-depressant medications like escitalopram. These medications are safe and effective. In addition, you can also consider option of psychotherapy in form of supportive therapy or cognitive behavior therapy. You must also start exercising daily.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
