U SEEM TO BE SUFFERING FROM CLINICAL DEPRESSION AND UR PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS LIKE WEIGHT GAIN, LACK OF ENERGY AND HOT AND COLD SENSATIONS ARE ALL A PART OF DEPRESSION ITSELF. IN MEDICAL TERMS THEY ARE CALLED THE SOMATIC(BODILY) SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION. ANXIETY IS ALSO A PART AND PARCEL OF DEPRESSION.
I SUGGEST-
1. TAB FLUOXETINE 20 MG ONCE A DAY FOR 1 WEEK. THEN DOSE CAN BE INCREASED TO 40 MG/DAY, DEPENDING ON THE RESPONSE AND TOLERABILITY
2. TAB CLONAZEPAM 0.5 MG TID DOSE WILL ALSO HELP IN ANXIETY, ANGER AND MOOD SWINGS
ONCE SYMPTOMS START IMPROVING, WE CAN TAPER OFF CLONAZEPAM AND MAINTAIN U ONLY ON FLUOXETINE

DO NOT WORRY, DEPRESSION IS TOTALLY TREATABLE.

U CAN ALSO TRY APPLIED RELAXATION AND OTHER BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS ALONG WITH THESE MEDICATIONS
