What Causes Tiredness , Depression And Headaches?

Hello, Hello, I am 17 years old turning 18 in a month, and have for the past three years been experiencing a horrible state. I get tired so easily, I cry all the time at the simplest thing which is quite embrassing. I get headaches. I also used to be a person who was so outgoing and was top of my year, and lately I feel I have gotten progressively dumber. I don t remember things as easily, I have no motivation to study or in fact do anything. I have no friends anymore and get the feeling everone hates me- almost paranoid. I just want to sleep even if I have been sleeping for more than 9 hours. I can t understand how I ve changed so much. I have been the the doctor and he thinks its depression and because I am anemic thinks this is the issue to my constant tiredness, but I feel there is something more. Please help. I am desperate.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi dear.

I understand your concern.

Tiredness/weaknesses/headache/sleep problem all are indicative of depression.

Low or sad mood with loss of interest in activities are the principal features of depression.

So need to evaluate in detail and need to evaluate your mental status with thought processes.


Depression can be treated with medicine like combination of SSRI and benzodiazapine.

Choice among all depends upon symptoms and clinical presentation.

Consult psychiatrist and get help.

Early treatment will bring fast and early recovery.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.
Happy to help you further.

Thank you.
