Hello thanks for asking

The symptoms like low mood, self destructive behaviour, sedentary lifestyle, impairment in social relationships and functioning etc could be occurring due to depressive disorder and should be diagnosed properly.

Please don't feel ashamed for the symptoms. Depression is a mental disorder like any other medical disorder and with medicines this can be treated properly. Drugs like SSRIs like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are used commonly for treatment. The drugs are safe to use and have no serious side effects.

Please visit a psychiatrist for evaluation and take proper treatment.

Thanks and Take care
