Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a college student. Recently my results for last year were out, and I did not get a good score. I have to score better marks next year to attain admission in the university. I am depressed because of my poor performance and results, and can not concentrate on anything. I have become lazy and lagging behind in classes. I try very hard to study with concentration, but I am unable to do so.
Please give me some advice to overcome this problem.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
You have not mentioned the time since when are you having all these symptoms. If it is after you got your results, then it may be wrong to label yourself as suffering from depression. This can just be an adjustment disorder. Although the symptoms are same, but the course of illness and recovery phase are very different. I will suggest you to be more optimistic, rather than dwelling over the past or worrying about the future. It would be better if you explain more about your symptoms in detail so that I can come to a better diagnosis.
Kindly follow up with all the details.
I hope this has helped you out.
Thanks and regards.
