Feeling mentally exhausted quite often.
I've been through a depressive phase for about year but didn't consult a doctor. On sharing my experience I was told by teachers that I could have had hormonal imbalances which I agreed to as I was facing problems of hair thinning and big gaps in menstrual cycles. Though I felt like I overcame my depression but still there exists a feeling of mental exhaustion. I'm not able to concentrate at my studies at all. I also can't sleep till 1 or 2 at night and feel tired at daytime. Pls help. Could u pls examine the exact situation?

Feeling low, having crying spells, sleep and appetite disturbances, and difficulty in concentration and attention are some of the signs of Depression. Consult a Psychiatrist for a detailed assessment. It is likely with medication and counseling the symptoms will improve. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless consult a Psychiatrist immediately.

Hi dear... I understand your hesitation in meeting the psychiatrist for depression. Nevertheless I am glad that you are seeking help on this platform. The symptoms that have described can be indicative of Thyroid dysfunction. Get the following lab tests done: CBC, Thyroid profile, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D levels. Depending upon the reports you may decide to visit either your family doctor or a psychiatrist (homoeopath / allopath). Homoeopathy medicines can effectively treat any hormonal or emotional cause and alleviate your symptoms without sude effects. For any further qyery, you may contact me via Practo online consult portal.
Next Steps
Based on Lab tests visit family doctor or psychiatrist (Homoeopath / Allopath)
