Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

The symptoms like lack of confidence, hopelessness, social withdrawal, anger, inferiority complex etc are sufficient to make diagnosis of depression. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and treatment. Depression can be treated with proper drug therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
Medicines like SSRIs as Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline or SNRIs as Duloxetine, Venlafaxine etc are commonly used for depression. For relief of poor day to day functioning medicines like Modafinil can prove useful. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.

CBT by a trained clinical psychologist will help to improve the symptoms. In CBT abnormal thought process and cognitive distortions of individuals is corrected with help of a therapist. With proper sessions decrease in symptoms will occur.

Thanks, hope this helps you
