What Causes Feeling Of Depression, Short Temper And Headaches?

Hi, over the past few months I have found my moods swings becoming quite a problem which has effected my home life and impacts on my wife/son. I can become very short tempered and the samllest things piss me off. I have been suffering with headaches quite a lot recently and this weekend I have hit a real low. During a night out with friends on Saturday I became real low and found myself staring into space in the garden for half an hour having bad thoughts. I went to bed got up fine but then dipped again and slept all afternoon, got up for a few hours and the slept all nigt again. Since going out that night I have electric shock feelings accross my chest, stomach and sides. I am pretty scared what is happening to me. What should I do please?

Hi,

I went through your query and from what you have mentioned, it seems that your having symptoms of depression. Feeling low, getting irritable, headache, feeling lethargic are all symptoms of depression. In addition, the shock like sensations that you are experiencing might be due to underlying anxiey.

You should consult a psychiatrist and initiate treatment. Ant-depressants like escitalopram or sertraline would be highly beneficial for you. You should also consider exercising daily as it will help you relax and feel better.

I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
