Hi, thanks for providing details
The symptoms like lack of focus, getting anxious again and again, crying spells, anticipating things and getting anxious, procrastinating things etc occurs commonly in depression and should be evaluated properly.
Low vitamin B12 levels, hypothyroidism are other medical reasons for similar symptoms. Please get your B12 and thyroid hormone levels done to rule out these conditions. If these levels come normal then most likely cause of your symptoms is depression. Visit a psychiatrist for treatment.
Medicines and cognitive therapy both are used for treatment in depression. SSRIs are commonly used medicines. Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Paroxetine etc are used commonly. These are safe drugs and help to control the symptoms in about 4 weeks of starting the treatment.
Please visit a psychiatrist for prescription.
