What Causes Anxiety, Depression, Loss Of Appetite And Energy?

Hello. My name is Tina. I'm 24 years old, 162 pounds, and my height is 5'3". I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol nor any caffiene at all. The last time I went to see a doctor, I was having a problem with my heart rythm and he diagnosed me with anxiety. I was also recently diagnosed with depression and I really don't know what is wrong with me. I was having a loss of appetite and feeling low of energy. Can you please tell me what might be wrong with me?

Dear Tina,

I went through your query and from what you have mentioned it seems that you have symptoms suggestive of depressive episode. Anxiety symptoms can very well be part of depression. Other symptoms would include feeling low and sad, getting easily tired, sleep and appetite disturbances, difficulty in concentration, etc.

You should be seeking a psychiatric consultation and initiating treatment. Treatment with anti-depressants would be helpful in your case. In addition you can start exercising which will help you relax.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
