Until my university stage when I faced failure for the first time in my life i suffered of depression after failing first year . nevertheless I kept failing successively for 4 years till i recovered from depression last year after strenuous efforts to get out of it meanwhile I bought new hearing aids Now i am feeling really better and i don t suffer of amnesia or emotional unstability and fatigue But i find some difficulties in studying . I find it hard to assimilate the information or think critically about an issue unless i should do extreme efforts to make out of it also that takes long time ( days , months) to get the puzzle pieces recollected together my question is
Hello...... Thanks for your query. I can understand your predicament. Sensory deprivation like hearing loss predispose to depressive illness. However, it is encouraging that with hearing aids your hearing has significantly improved. Hence, I accept your depressive symptoms to resolve early without any intervention. You can seek psychological counselling and supportive psychotherapy in the interim. Hope you found the information useful. Regards Chat Doctor.
