Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I can understand the distress that you might be facing with your current set of symptoms. From what you have mentioned, it seems that you might be having a depressive episode.

I would recommend that you discuss regarding your symptoms with your parents without any further delay and seek a psychiatric consultation. You will benefit from treatment with anti-depressants like escitalopram. In addition, it would help you relax if you start exercising daily.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
