Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have lost interest in everything for the past few months. I want to stay isolated. I feel depressed at times. What to do?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

It seems you are suffering from depression. Depression is a common psychiatric illness that affects around 20 people out of 100. There are very good treatment options available for it, including therapy, counseling, and medicines.

I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

1. Practice safe sex in order to make yourself feel better.

2. Practice deep breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation.

3. Eat a healthy and nutritious diet.

4. Sleep and wake up on time.

5. Do 30 minutes of regular physical activity like dancing, jogging, etc

6. Try not to be alone and talk to your friends, parents, and family members.

7. Do a thyroid function test, and visit a specialist doctor for counseling.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
