Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
I can understand how it feels to be in your state. But one good thing is it can be treated psychologically and pharmacologically. Consult psychiatrist first, get a diagnosis let the expert understand the severity, is it stress related or biological, than he will discuss about only therapy or medicine's or both.
