Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Feelings of hurting yourself, mental confusion etc can occur due to some underlying mental disorder. These symptoms could occur due to some mild to moderate depression but more symptoms are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Such symptoms can be seen in poor impulse control also. If you have associated tiredness, pervasive sadness of mood, lack of interest in anything, poor motivation etc symptoms then the chances of depression are more likely.

Please visit a psychiatrist for help. Medicines like SSRIs as Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Paroxetine etc are commonly used in depression. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of these medicines.

Thanks, Take care
