Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I think I have a medical problem.. my boyfriend just thinks I'm crazy though. Anyways I'm 18 years old, I weigh 104 lbs and I'm 5'1. I had a heart murmur fixed when I was 6 months old, reoccurring Kidney and UTI. But other than that I am pretty healthy. I know that depression runs in my mothers side of the family, but I don't know if that is something that can be a genetic trait. But some days I wake up so depressed I don't want to eat or get out of bed. Other days I feel like a maniac, i feel like i am overly happy for no reason. About 90% of the time I find myself crying with no explanation. I have recently lost quite a bit of weight and yet I still wake up and look in the mirror and think i am fat. I do get migraines pretty frequently upon waking up and I have been seen for those with no diagnosis. I'm wondering if this is even a medical problem and if my craziness and migranes might be coexisting. Thank you for your time.
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety and Depression is known to create physical fatigue and mental fatigue. You are anxious about something which is giving you these series of symptoms. Migrains could be related to anxiety and stress. Disappointment in unexpected life happenings can cause anxiety and depressive symptoms you are experiencing. Understanding those disappointments may be of help. Researches have shown that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Psychotherapy to have life style changes, Yoga and meditationn to streamline thought process and metabolism can be practiced for easy and permanent cure. Contact a psychologist for further information.
