i have been feeling extremelly depressed recently i saw my gp and he subscribed me some pills to take. i felt ashamed by what i thought was a reaccurance of my teen problems. and because of this i didnt take them. im not suicidal but keep thinking the world would be better without me. my whole life has fallen apart recently but i have been feeling like this since before that. at times i feel completely normal but then suddenly feel really low on the verge of tears. im also have been suffering with headaches and dizzy spells recently verging on passing out. i dont know if this is connected. i just dont know what to do.
Hi dear. I had gone through your query. I can understand your concern. Headache is common in depression .it is most presenting complain among depressive patients. Dizziness may be due to stress or weakness or change in blood pressure or neurological problem. Proper physical and neurological work UUP require. Proper psychological and mental status examination will give more confirmatory idea about it. It can be treated with medicine like combination of SSRI and benzodiazepine. In SSRI sertraline / Escitalopram / paroxetine will help. Psychotherapy and counselling can help. Social and psychological support is must. Ensure proper sleep and diet. Daily work out/ exercise and meditation will help you. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you. Get well soon.
