Hi, Im 15 and Im not sexually active but Ive been extremely moody and agitated lately and I never feel hungry like I usually do I can just eat breakfast, lunch and then be done eating. My mom has always had a pretty severe case of depression and I keep researching and I have a lot of the same symptoms of depression. Could what Im going through be depression?
HiT hanks for writing to Chat Doctor The symptoms like decreased appetite, decreased sexual interest, agitation and moodiness could be suggestive of depression. As your mother has depression there is an increased risk for u having it. Depression is also associated with low mood, decreased energy and initiative, loss of interest in activities and negative thoughts(about self, others and future) Ideas of hopelessness and worthlessness are also seen. Sometimes one feels suicidal. If these symptoms occur in u try consulting a psychiatrist at the earliest. Hope this helps thanks and regards
