Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Depression can affect anyone and you can overcome it completely. This is a phase and it will go. Depression symptoms include feeling low all the time, loss of interest in the previous pleasurable activity, feeling lonely, low in energy, hopeless, helpless, worthless feeling and sometimes even suicidal ideas. Few of them or all can be present at a time. Consult a nearby psychiatric clinic. Make sure you are not alone trying to be with someone close to you, share your thoughts, sleep for an adequate time, have healthy meals on time, involved in activities you used to enjoy earlier.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Rohit Kothari
