Could depression be causing my symptoms? Treatment advice?

Depression "Hello, I’ve been experiencing symptoms of depression, including persistent sadness, low energy, and difficulty concentrating. I’d appreciate your guidance on potential treatments or next steps."

Answered on 24th Dec '24

Depression has several origins, whether they be biological, psychological, social, or a combination of them all. You need to remember that help is there and you are not alone. Options for treatment often include therapy, medication, or a combination of both, which are prescribed based on your condition. Taking part in regular physical exercise, having a healthy diet, and having a sufficient amount of sleep are also benefits. I urge you to contact a psychiatrist who would be able to give you individual support and come up with a treatment plan that is good for you in its entirety.

Sometimes I feel heavy hearted and my mind wanders sometimes, I am not calm and steady, my memory is also a little weak, I forget things often and I face difficulty in working anywhere. I have to listen to the scoldings of my boss.

Male | 26

Thank you for sharing how you’re feeling. It sounds like you’ve been under a lot of emotional and mental strain lately, which is affecting different areas of your life, including work and memory. It’s important to know that these challenges can often be linked to underlying stress, anxiety, or even lifestyle factors like sleep, diet, and workload. Consider taking some time to reflect on your daily routine and how manageable it feels. Are you getting enough rest? Are you giving yourself moments to pause and recharge? It may also help to talk to a psychologist or counselor who can guide you in understanding these emotions and their root causes. Therapy can offer practical ways to manage stress and regain balance, improving not just your focus but also your overall sense of well-being. You don’t have to navigate this alone—help is available, and reaching out is a great first step.

I can't sleep properly. It's about 2 weeks I am facing this issue.

Female | 26

For the last two weeks, having difficulty getting to sleep or sticking to sleep could be a symptom of insomnia. This can be brought about by stress, worries, or even eating habits. Try setting a bedtime schedule, for example, going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Say no to the stimulant beverage and technology before night's sleep. If this doesn't help, it's best to speak with your doctor.

Overthinking and repetitive behaviours

Male | 23

Feeling mentally overwhelmed and stuck in repetitive patterns for an extended period can be a sign of anxiety. This may lead to symptoms like restlessness, sleep disturbances, and heightened alertness. The causes of anxiety can vary, ranging from stress and genetics to imbalances in brain chemicals. To manage these feelings, practicing mindfulness, exercising, and talking to someone can significantly improve your well-being.

Female | 34

You have been under a lot of pressure and are feeling stressed. Being very tired, short-tempered, or feeling a headache can be the symptoms of burnout. Nebulousness claims how harmful burnout can be. Enriching oneself with a plethora of activities can change the quality of your life. Explore the way you feel with someone you can trust.

Female | 22

Your fear of being judged, rejected, and overthinking can be symptoms of anxiety. The head injury that you had in your adolescent period may also be linked to your headaches and memory issues now. Of course, speaking with a mental health professional is the best way to get help, but you also might want to see a neurologist for your head injury.

I wanted to know that what is amphetamine and methamphetamine

Female | 21

Amphetamine and methamphetamine are powerful stimulants that can produce feelings of alertness and increased energy. They may manifest as such signs as rapid pulse, sweating, and nervousness. These substances are usually manufactured illegally and can be highly habit-forming. If an individual is on either amphetamine or methamphetamine, it is crucial for them to consult with a healthcare provider on how to quit using the drugs safely.

Greetings to the doctor who is seeing my messages. I am facing a serious bad situation of sperm leakage or semen leakage. This starts when I was giving my matriculation exams. It is still happening to me whenever I take any exams. This happens when I feel too much anxiety. And after this anxiety my heart beat run soo fast . I couldn't control on myself. And semem leakage happens to me. I'm really depressed I have tried exercising on daily basis. But in exams I couldn't control my stress and anxiety. Kindly what is treatment for this problem. I'm really depressed, I just want to give my best in exams so I'll be able to achieve my goals that I have set in my life.

Male | 22

This is more common than you may realize and could be due to stress affecting your body. When you’re nervous, it can make your body react in various ways such as increased heart rate and release of semen. Perhaps trying relaxation methods like deep breathing or talking about what’s bothering you with someone could help calm down your nerves before sitting for an exam.

I was taken daxid 50 mg tablet .I am feared that tablet side effects.if any problem are effected male sexual hormone level

Male | 19

It is completely understandable to worry about the side effects of a medicine. Male hormone levels can be affected by Daxid 50 mg occasionally. This might lead to symptoms such as low sex drive or difficulty in achieving an erection. The reason for this is that the drug has an impact on serotonin levels in the brain. If you are going through these things, it would be best to talk to your doctor about them.

I get fainting and I have so many negative thoughts and it's change my behaviour and I suffer lot

Female | 18

Your drooping spirits and the negatives in your thinking have the consequence of your behavior. Various causes of these signs are found hence people having been under a lot of stress or anxiety experience the same feeling. When you go through the emotions focus on the end of this exercise: slow breathing and calming of the soul. Besides, communicating with your close friends or even family members can be helpful. You can also recognize that it's important to ask for help when needed.
