Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi


Welcome to Hm.

I understand your concern.

Change in stream of thought suggest mood variability.

Psychological stress can produce low mood and fluctuation in moods.

But change in mood only can not suggest depression.

It may associate with other features like lack of interest, sleep disturbance, loss of weight and thought of hopelessness and helplessness .etc.

If you have all this and persist for 2 week then need to go for psychiatric evaluation and consultation.

This kind of condition can be treated with SSRI and benzodiazapin.

Choice of drug depends upon clinical presentation and symptoms.

Do consultation and get well soon.

Still have a query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.

Happy to help you.
