Lethargy, depression, discontented,
I am a successful professional, 46 yrs male, somehow feel extremely depressed (1month), running thoughts, can't concentrate (even with daily activities: cooking or cleaning), extreme lethargy, repeat activities (search google, or check E-mails), sitting idle As if I am done with this life, just dragging myself and waiting for a natural death. Could not sort out what is the problem : living alone (divorced), sexlessness (7yrs), no excitements at work or some physical problem. Help

Next Steps
you need to be started on an antidepressant, preferably escitalopram (10mg) to be hiked to 15mg over next 7days. T. clonazepam 0.5mg. at night if sleep disturbance is present
Health Tips
The effect of medications would be evident in 15days, so be patient . Allow somebody else to dispense the medications to you. Consult a doctor immediately in case of any emergency
