Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your available history.

It seems that you are having depression. Physical causes like thyroid dysfunction and vitamin b 12 deficiency like physical causes should be ruled out.

You should consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management.

Psychiatrist may advise you to go for anti depressant drugs like fluoxetine or desvenlafaxine. or else doctor may advise to go for psychotherapy.

Meanwhile you can do stress management and relaxation exercise like yoga, meditation or breathing exercise.

I hope It may help you.

Feel free to revert to me in case if you have further query.

Thanks.
