Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been having depression. I suddenly get sad and cry myself to sleep. I cannot face people as I feel anxious and tensed. I vomit whenever I feel tensed and anxious which is effecting my health. I cannot eat properly or mingle with people as I am always in a fear that something bad might happen to me. I have not gone through any treatment nor consulted any doctors about this problem.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The symptoms like sad mood, crying spells could be due to some mood disturbance. Anxiety, fear, and anticipation that something bad will happen, poor social interaction, etc., are part of anxiety and mood disturbance. If these symptoms are resulting in distress and are impairing your functioning, then please visit a psychiatrist for help. A behavior therapy and relaxation exercises can help to treat the symptoms. If the relaxation exercises do not help then drugs like SSRIs can be used to reduce the anxiety. Sertraline, Fluoxetine, Escitalopram, etc., can be used to come out of anxiety. Take care.

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