Suggest Remedy For Mental Health Problems

I am male 24 years of age and currently working for a bpo as customer service So generally have night shift n get proper time to sleep in the morning hours. I have good physic n has no other diseases. But, have been suffering from memory problems since I was 18 years of age when I was in class 12th. I couldn t remember important subjects even I try to by heart it I will forget after 1-2 hours, that why I failed in exams n somehow copied passed graduation. I have difficulty to remember new learnt things for example concept, ideas, events, data, conversations n cant think n form opinions etc. I cannot recall my past life events correctly in a pattern that means all thought are messed up n sometimes false memory comes to recall past life.Every time I try to make conversation with persons they have no idea what I mean as I cannot explain properly, long pauses in middle, extreme slow jumping from one idea to another, often mind goes blank n forget important things to mention, thought process is not clear n organised as I have limited words n ideas. This happens when I am responding to anyone it takes hell lot of time for me to comprehend, understand, think what to say n respond by that time one other person will jump to other topic or go away. I am not able to plan n organise my work taking longer time to complete simple tasks that exceeds the deadline which makes me under performer. so not getting any salary hike n growth even after working for 3 years. Friends make fun of me by noticing this change, so I am avoiding gathering in persons, social networking like facebook not giving my phone number to any one. Even I am handsome with nice personality I have no girl friends till date because girls go away for me for sluggish behaviour, lack of conversations n I am not a rich man also.My family is well aware of this but will not do anything as they consider it social stigma n will always try to console me everything is normal. I decided to tell this to my sister who is married came for 2 weeks to our place from different state n she understood me n agreed to go for check up in Apollo hospital orissa, Bhubaneswar. We met a phycologists who asked few questions about my academic performances, medical history of myself n family, social connectivity n my mood it was her assumption that I have mild depression n advised me to take medicines for 2 months. once the course was over I didn t have any improvement, so I tried to contact the hospital but doctor was transferred to different state n I didn t want to visit same or different hospitals because they charge is very high, one appointment rs500 in private good ones n governments are worst. Please advise me how should I go about this? Thank you for your time and patience for understanding my problem. Your response is highly awaited and thank you in advance for replying.
