Teenager. Depression Due To Bad Environment At Home, Difficulty Sleeping, Inability To Trust Anyone, Rage, Suicidal Thoughts, Weight Gain. Help

I've been having depression issues for quite a long time now. At first, it wasn't much of a problem but it's getting harder and harder day by day. I can't sleep (in the last 5 days I only slept for 6 hours). Basically the reason for my depression were my parents. They fought a lot and I was usually dragged into their fights somehow. I was scolded for no good reason. They yelled at me all the time. I wasn't allowed to leave the house either. It home to school and school to back home. But I got used to it. Later the few friends I had betrayed me iver and over agsin and I cut contact with them. After I got promoted to the next grade, I made new friends but they also betrayed me. Since then I've had serious trust issues and can't discuss my problems with anyone. I am unable to trust anyone. Now my parents have gotten even harsher and I don't know how to deal with them. I have to keep all my rage inside. I've now started to hate everyone, my friends, my family. My depression is at it's peak. Insomnia is killing me and I have to go to college everyday too. I'm 17 and thoughts like suicide and running away cross my mind everyday . I've tried many cures (as stated on the Internet). I don't know what to do. I need help.
I don't really have any bullying problem but over the time I've started to gain weight and I am often teased because of it and I do mind though I keep silent about it.

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.
It seems that you are having depression but other illness like conduct disorder or borderline personality traits need to be ruled out.

You should consult your doctor preferably psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management. Doctor may rule out physical causes like thyroid dysfunction.

After confirming diagnosis, doctor may advise to go for anti depressant drugs like desvenlafaxine or sertraline . You may get benefit by counselling and psychotherapy.

Meanwhile you may go for stress management and relaxation exercise like yoga or meditation for better control over stress.

Thanks.

Hello........
Thanks for your query. I would suggest you meet a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation of your symptoms including suicidal ideation which is potentially life threatening. The differential diagnosis can include depressive disorder or a personality disorder. The treatment would include drugs like antidepressants, mood stabilisers like lithium as appropriate and psychotherapy techniques like CBT/Cgnitive behavioural therapy. Wish you good health and speedy recovery .
Regards
Dr Sundar
