What Causes Lethargy, Sleeplessness, Loss Of Appetite And Mood Swings?

Hello, I have no idea why I have been so tired lately and I have had lots of trouble sleeping and I eat less than usual. I feel unloved and unwanted and I cry for no particular reason. Nothing bad goes on in my life but I ve been feeling very sad lately and emotional. I feel all of these things but my home life is fine and my school life is fine to. Why do I feel this way when other people have it harder than I do? I feel depressed for some reason but I don t know why.

Hi


I understand your concern.

Mood swings/ sadness/ lethargy/ weakness/ loss of apatite/ insomnia etc are the symptoms of psychological stress.

Detail evaluation may indicate or lead to diagnosis like depression or anxiety disorder.

It can be treated with medicines like anti depressant and anti anxiety.

Escitalopram, sertraline, mirtazapine etc can help to reduce all psychological symptoms.
It will elevated your mood and decrease anxiety or stress.

Anxiolytic medicines like etizolam/ clonazepam/ lorazepam can help to restore good sleep.

But before that you need psychiatrist consultation for confirm diagnosis and evaluation.

So consult and get help.

I hope i have answered your query.

Feel free to ask.

Thank you.
