Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have excess sleep and fatigue while suffering from depression . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like anemia , sleep apnea , menopause , depression , diabetes . depression usually lowers the level of serotonin which lowers your energy and make you feel tired . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test and take history to rule out conditions like diabetes. Doctor may refer you to endocrinologist or psychiatrist . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist in case of heart problem . For now do relaxing exercises like yoga and meditation , eat iron rich food lie spinach and lower your sugar consumption .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
