Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

You seem to be manifesting symptoms of depression. feeling low, sad and irritable, getting tired easily are all symptoms of underlying depressive episode. Worsening of symptoms before and during menstruation occurs commonly in depression and can be associated with premenstrual tension.

I would suggest that you should consult a psychiatrist for initiating treatment. Medications like escitalopram or sertraline would be highly beneficial for you. In addition, you should start exercising daily. It will help you feel better and relax.

I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Wish you all the best.
