How to deal with depression and mood swings?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have lost all the zeal, nothing makes me happy. I am always in a mood to cry and being around friends does not make me feel better anymore. I have started eating less, sleeping more, and though I try to concentrate on my studies, it is of no use. I cry whenever I am alone. I have become a silent person. Please help. No inspiration works.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

These symptoms point towards depression. So, get an appointment with a psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated for the same. Get thyroid function test, routine blood investigation, and blood sugar done. Also, do maintain sleep hygiene. Thanks and regards.
