Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I think I am suffering from depression. I cannot pinpoint the exact moment when the symptoms started but what I feel is I have been betrayed by my friends too much of a time. I have started overreacting to even superficial matters. Matters that could have been completely ignored. For example, I have now developed the habit of shouting at my girlfriend even on the slightest of topics like not picking up my call. After my last professional papers (during which I had a big fight with my roommate which got ugly and I eventually left the flat), I have not even been able to concentrate on my studies. I do love my girlfriend and I really feel that she is being close to me and is having bad of me. I do want to change myself but I am unable to. Currently, I am taking a Finax tablet.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You may be suffering from insecurity in your relationship. Be yourself whatever you are. Do not think about what people will think about you. Everyone is going to judge whatever you do either good or bad. Only remember one thing that does not do anything that intentionally or unintentionally hurt anyone. Start to develop confidence in yourself. Try to find a reason why you get angry. When you get angry just look at the watch for 30 seconds before reacting. Anger is impulsive if you control the initial phase then you can manage it. You may have an underlying depression, but you have not mentioned any other depressive features. You can deal with your depression in some nonpharmacological way like daily exercise for 30 to 40 minutes. Do meditation for 20 minutes, eat healthy food, avoid junk foods, take enough deep sleep for seven hours, fix a time for your sleep, spend time with family or at least call once a day, spend quality time with friends or girlfriend, stay away from social media or control your use, spend time for active creative hobbies like reading good books, writing, painting, learn new skills or language or play musical instruments, take a vacation once a year. Live life not just spend.

Thank you.
