Dear mam
Thank you for your query.
Is there anything that has been worrying you? Are you under stress because of something. If yes, then dealing with that can be beneficial
please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation to understand this further. The assessment will also involve relevent physical examination and tests to rule out any physical cause for these symptoms. Also a detailed psychological assessment to understand what is causing these. Feeling sad, lack of energy, low concentration level, disturbed sleep can all occur in mental health issues like depression.
So please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation.
Thanks
Regards

Hello,
These can be symptoms of depression. Depression symptoms include feeling low all the time, loss of interest in previous pleasurable activity, crying spells, feeling lonely, difficulty in concentration, sleep disturbance, low in energy, tiredness, loss of confidence, hopeless, helpless, worthless feeling and sometime even suicidal ideas persistently over a period of time. Few of them or all can be present at a time. Dengue can act as a precipitating i.e. stress factor for causing these symptoms. Depending on the severity your treatment will be decided. Symptoms worsens with time so its advisable to take help from mental health professionals as early as possible.
Next Steps
Consult nearby psychiatric clinic or you can consult me.

Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. Insomnia or sleep disorders are symptoms of deep stress or anxiety in your mind. It's important to have a deep sleep for good physical and mental health.
Just observe and analyze what's happening around you in the recent times. May be work related pressure or relationship, family issues, lifestyle changes, environmental change, financial issues etc could be triggering unwanted or anxious or worrying thoughts. If such thoughts are preoccuping your mind, then obviously you will see disturbed sleep, negativity in day to day life, lack of confidence, lack of interest, nervousness, body pain, digestion issues, headaches and many other symptoms.
Be positive. You can overcome this with a help of mental health professional like us. It needs further evaluation of your both physical and mental health symptoms to isolate the root cause for your anxiety and stress first and then suitable simple recommendation can be suggested if severity is low.
Feel free to reach me online for further evaluation and recommendation. Be positive. You will be alright soon.

I think it could be due to some reasons..
Probably, you are unhappy about something or someone else...
Or, you find it difficult to take decisions and in a conflict...
For more clarity and understanding do consult a psychologist in your city personally.

Hello practo user
I can understand the difficult situation that you are currently facing in your life . Sleep can get disturbed due to some underlying stress either personal or professional which is unresolved.For better sleep hygiene you can try these steps-- take a warm shower before bed , avoid using your phone/laptop very late at night , listen to some soothing music , practice deep breathing and meditation , try and talk to your close family members or friends , avoid eating heavy meals at night . Try and spend quality time engaging in activities which you enjoy . It is advisable that you seek help from a clinical psychologist for better understanding of your case and formulation of a treatment plan specific to your needs .
