Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old suffering from depression. I want to overcome this.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. K. V. Anand

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. Wanting to be isolated, having problems in socialization, not wanting to go outside, lack of concentration in education and general, feeling of worthlessness, etc., are symptoms of depression and anxiety. There are many psychotherapy methods with which your present behavior pattern can be altered. You may have to practice psychotherapy methods, lifestyle changes, relaxation therapy, etc., to overcome your present behavior pattern. I suggest you to undergo cognitive behavior therapy. You can also consult a psychologist.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

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