Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I feel empty inside. I do not feel any fire for my desires anymore. I do not feel motivated, confident or sad. There was a time I had so much fantasy to do something great. I cannot exactly make out what is happening to me. But I cannot sense good vibes nor bad ones. Nothing motivates me to do something great or big, instead, I feel why should I do something great. Please help. I have seen thousands of videos with motivational speeches, how to reduce stress but its not helping. My age is 18 years and my weight is around 48 kg and my height is 5'3".
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and understand your concerns. It appears to me that you are suffering from depression as evidenced by feeling empty, poor self-esteem, low motivation, loss of emotions, poor social communication, decreased interest in surroundings, the presence of mood swings and irritability can present in depression. Although it is important to note that depression can be an individual disorder or part of some other disorders such as bipolar disorder. Having said this I would like to assure you that depression is largely treatable disorder in the current scenario and almost 100 % recovery is possible in more majority of individuals with depression. The treatment includes medications, psychotherapy or combinations of both.
