What Causes Nervous Break Down With Hot Flashes?

I think I have had a nervous break down. I have been through a 38 year marriage divorce. I am having night mares and break out in hot sweats. Can seem to let all of this go and it will be two years in October since my divorce. I just rehash it all in my head and I know I need to let go but just cant.i have started talking in my sleep and sometimes I hit at things. I have been to counsolors and nothing helps.i feel that everyone is against me and that my x has gotten away free . I have no health insurance and no job and am 60 years old. At times I feel like I am not worth anything. I cry all the time and feel as if no one cares.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have depression and in that case, you need antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine. You should consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management. With medications, these depressive symptoms would improve. You can carry on session with psychologist that would help to maintain your mental balance. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
