What Causes Fatigue Along With Insomnia And Excessive Weight Gain?

I shift between good energy and tiredness... sometimes several times daily. Sleep is disturbed. Sometimes I get worn out for no apparent reason. I have gained weight over the past year. I have zero desire for any social contact but am satisfied with my cats and dogs. I m pretty much isolating. Was wondering if it s depression because my wife died miserably 20 months ago. Wondering if there s a realistic method for testing depression. I am unaware of any illness other than spinal stenosis. I get a general doc check every 6 months or so but not sure if the guy knows what he s doing

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
No need to check depression. You already know that you are on it. And you have a reason to do be..
You must communicate with ppl. Think of some new and innovative things. Try to get away from what causes your depression. Your wife is dead. So just move along with that. Consider that as a part of your life.
Depression causes increase in appetite and you tend to eat a lot. So is the Weight gain.
Change your atmosphere.
accommodate yourself with some mindful jobs. And reduce the time that you recall ur wife.
