Suggest Treatment For Anxiety, Extreme Mood Swings, Fear And Depression

Hello! I ve never had an official diagnosis, but the past few years I believe I had struggled with both depression and anxiety, and while I feel that I have them it seems best that I have an official answer. Most days I am fine, although simple things can trigger my anxiety and bring me to a fearful and or sad state - messing something little up, making someone annoyed with me, approaching someone with a request or concern. Some days I feel tired and lonely, with poor self esteem and self worth, and feel eternally empty and bored of life to the point of lying in bed all day. Some days I m extremely fearful of what people see of me and annoying them, feeling useless and unnecessary. My emotions can change seemingly within seconds many times a day, although only range between happiness, anxiety or depression. I have resented the thought of being dependent on medicine as my depression is so off and on, and who I am as a person is greatly shaped by my anxiety, but I must ask if you might recommend medication for this as well. Thank you for your time, I apologize for the lengthy message!

Hello,

Anxiety can heighten your mood swings and thereby can cause depression like symptoms. But here you must understand that the depression symptoms after anxiety is not actually depression, but are general anxiety symptoms. No worries. Learn to manage your anxiety. Therefore I suggest consulting a skin specialist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
