Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I feel so low and not able to express myself as I used to before. I feel exhausted, tired, dumb, and useless. Socializing with my friends did not help as they used to.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. You may have a major depressive disorder. There is non-pharmacological management for depression, you should try to follow the below guidelines to deal with it. It will help you.

  1. You should do exercises daily for 30 to 45 minutes like at least going for a walk, it will uplift your mood.
  2. You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily, just sit in one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing, do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts, just let it be. It will help you to increase concentration.
  3. You should eat healthy home-cooked foods, and avoid junk foods.
  4. You must drink enough water.
  5. You should spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family.
  6. You should spend time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills or language or musical instruments. It will keep your life.
  7. You should take enough 7 to 8 hours of sleep daily.
  8. You must avoid tobacco or alcohol or any substance abuse.
  9. If you still have symptoms that persist after following the advice for 4 to 6 weeks, then you need to start medications for a short duration.
  10. You must do the following blood reports as you have easy fatigue.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
