Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your healthcare concerns

You have a long list of symptoms which all point to depression. I would recommend that you seek your medical provider about starting an antidepressant medication. The most common treatment is a SSRI or fluoxetine. This may take a few weeks to fully work but it can dramatically improve your symptoms.

In addition to medication you would also benefit from counseling. I would recommend a counselor who treats with CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy. This in addition to your medication will help your overall outlook on life

In summary
1. see doctor
2. treatment with SSRI
3 See therapist
4 Start CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy
