Hello, First of all these days it s very commonly seen that people get stressed due to different things and sometimes they don’t realise the reason that made the so stressed and they just can not handle the effects efficiently. Its good that you have taken a step forward by finding medical advice on it. Second thing, it s always better to see a psychiatrist in person as before giving any medicines your doctor needs to get the history behind the illness and he will come to a conclusion about diagnosis and decide if there is need of medicines or not. Few counselling sessions can also help without the use of medicine. So my advice to you is to see a psychiatrist. Apart from this, I suggest you try meditation which helps a lot in such situations where a person feels low and lost. It takes time but it s worth giving a try. Daily exercising also helps to elevate your mood so you can start doing it. And make sure you so things that make you happy and you love doing as well as talk to your family, friends whenever possible. These things help a lot. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Manisha Auradkar, General & Family Physician
