Suggest Treatment For Depression
Dear Doc,
I am a 29 yr old female , my height is 5 ft 2 inch and weight is around 65 kg. I tend to feel depressed all the time. I have stomach pain and cramps that seem to have no pathological reason. I tend to have death wish but coward enough not to engage in the same. I feel thoroughly let down by my professional and personal life. My partner does not want to be around the gloom doom me. Please advise.

hi.. thanks for writing.. i have understood your concerns...
depression is very common psychiatric illness..but one shud not neglect it when s/he has suicidal thoughts..u havent attempted, that is good and appreciable, but u shud talk to somebody and share your feelings..
in my opinion u shud consult a psychiatrist and ask for help...there is no shame in seeking professional help...depression can be easily treated with antidepressant medication and psychotherapy..u shud give it a chance..
with proper treatment u ll be alright and will enjoy life again..
if recently your weight is increasing suddenly, the u shud go for thyroid function tests also..
i hope this advice will be helpful to you...best luck..
