Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I need something to keep me calm, I am so stressed out lately and the stress doesn't seem to leave me. I have tried taking blackmores stress relief tablets and it doesn't seem to help, I can't sleep properly and this is affecting my lifestyle. I can't work or study right. Sometimes I cry over really silly reasons or just get so overwhelmed I can't even speak.
Hello, I think your problem is not just stress. The chronic stress has led you to depression. Your description is very much suggestive that you are suffering from depression. My advice to you is to start with an antidepressant drug like escitalopram. Also changing your lifestyle would help you like eating at regular time, going for mornibg walk/yoga, time management, avoidibg junk food, taking green leafy vegetables atleast once in a day. Also you can mantain a stress diary in which you can note what factors increase/decrease your stress, at what time of day you feel most stressed, what you do to deal with stress and successful you are in doing that. You would be able to deal with your stress better in this way. Thanks.
