Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behavior, feelings and sense of well-being.

Depressed mood is not always a psychiatric disorder. It may also be a normal reaction to certain life events, a symptom of some medical conditions, or a side effect of some drugs or medical treatments. This is what you should know. Depression need not be treated with medicines, in the first hand. It requires life style changes so that the mind acquires the capacity of coming out of the current negative feelings. These things are practiced in psychotherapy.

Plenty of oxygen through deep breathing relaxation techniques, plenty of water and exercise are essential part of therapy which surely results in total cure.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
