Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have underline depression or any organic lesion and for that you need to consult a psychiatrist or neurologist for proper evaluation. If it is because of depression, then that would improve with antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine. You can also try relaxation exercise.

Thanks
