Why Am I Always Tired, Unmotivated, And Low On Energy When Diagnosed With Depression?

I am always tired, unmotivated, have low energy, I am unable to wake up for school and find it in me to do simple tasks such as cleaning. I was also diagnosed with depression but I’m starting to think I have a physical condition causing my mood to be low and interfering with my daily life. What do you think it is?

Hello,

Your symptoms are indicative of poor general heath condition, anemia and thyroid problem. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP & get CBC, Hb%, urinalysis, T3, T4, TSH and all required routine tests done. Take home made food rich in iron, minerals and high in protein. Keep yourself well hydrated. Take water and fluids. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected. Once the underlying health condition is treated you will feel better.

Avoid taking spicy, oily junk food. Do not take processed food and packaged food. Make new friends, do regular exercises, engage yourself in constructive work like singing, dancing, painting, gardening, reading, writing, etc. Stay away from smoking, alcohol, drugs or addictions if any. They are harmful for your health. You are suggested to get connected to a Counselor. You may need CBT, talk therapy, exercise therapy, massage therapy, etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
