Suggest Treatment For Depression
Hi.
I am having a major problem with my weight.I am underweight.I am 21,5'5 and i weight about 105.For two years i been trying to gain weight and nothing.I gain one pound and i lose it the same day.I feel depressed all the time so im thinking it might be a depression because my mom also went through depression and takes pills for it.Now my problem is affecting my health.I get burning stomach pain and i have serious leg poain at night.I try to eat but get disgusted and stop eating then get hungry late at night which is when my leg pain starts.My doctor prescribed me periactin but that didnt help at all.I need some advice on what to do.I try to eat but i just cant and i have no idea why so im hoping to somehow solve this problem because its taking over my life.Ive lost weight off my face which makes me look alot older and gives me a hollow or depressed appearance.I am desperatly in need of an answer.
Thank You!

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Your problem is not clinical depression, but is disappointment. You are getting disappointed in very very small issues which you think are serious. Worrying about your weight cannot increase your weight, in actuality, it will reduce your weight and physique. This is also symptom of anxiety disorder. You should evaluate yourself for anxiety disorder. Consult a psychologist. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
