Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Depression

So I've lose many loved ones, both from death and getting into fights. I've lost many friends recently and this boy I really liked started ignoring and blocking me. I've felt depressed before but now it's taking over my life. I get into fights with my family nearly every day (including today, even if it's my birthday). I'm always pressured to get perfect grades and excel at my sports and it's getting too much for me. I have trouble sleeping every night, my eating pattern is all over the place, I've resorted to self harm, and I constantly have headaches, stomachaches, and these weird pains in my chest. I've been told that I have anxiety or depression or something but I really have no idea what's wrong w me. I'm scared to talk to my family about it and I can't get therapy or anything without them finding out. What should I do??

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your problem. Repeated fights with friends and family members could be occurring due to some behavioural and mood problems. Such fights, ideas of self harm, difficulty in sleeping, pressure of good grades, multiple somatic complaints, pains in chest, headaches etc could point towards depression. As per my opinion there is no harm in talking to parents regarding these problems. They can help you in getting good consultation and treatment. In such symptoms most of individuals of your age respond to counselling only. Counselling helps to stabilise mood and will work out a optimal solution for your problems.

For depressive symptoms medicines like SSRIs can help. These medicines will help to improve depressive symptoms, negative thoughts and you will feel better. Discuss these problems with your parents and consult a psychiatrist.

Thanks, hope this helps you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. From the given description itself is clear that you are an adolescent. You have some behavioral problems like rebellious attitude, easy tiring etc, but these are naturally integral part of your adolescent life period. You must understand that adolescent period provides you so many demands as well as disappointments. Please understand your adolescent and people around you. Thorough knowledge and experience can only help you out of this dilemma. You are disappointed. That is all. Consult a psychologist for counseling.
