Hi,

From what you have mentioned, your symptoms are highly suggestive of depressive disorder. Moreover, since there is also history of intentional drug over dosage, I feel the depression is severe enough and you should seek a psychiatric consultation without any further delay.

You would benefit from anti-depressant medications like venlafaxine or escitalopram. They are effective drugs for the treatment of depression. I do hope that you get yourself initiated on treatment very soon.

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