Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,

I can understand what you might be going through. You seem to be having symptoms suggestive of depressive episode. I would have liked to now how long are you having these symptoms from, your age and any comorbid medical disorder you might have been diagnosed with?

I would suggest you consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation. You might benefit with medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. In addition, relaxation techniques like deep breathing and progressive muscular relaxation will help you maintain your calm.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
