Tests for ADHD and Anxiety
I have had really bad anxiety and depression issues while growing up, to the point that when I get too stressed I sometimes I get sleep paralysis.
I have also recently read that it overlaps with ADHD.
I want to get a test done to get a proper diagnosis for whether I have ADHD/Anxiety/Depression or any other issue that I am unaware of. I would rather not do the test in person due to unavailability of time and associated costs. Could the diagnosis be provided online?
If so, how should I proceed?
Furthermore, who exactly should I consult- psychiatrist or psychologist or counselor or therapist? Within the current circumstance as I am college student with super hectic schedule , I do not have adequate for engaging in weekly therapy. How should I proceed then, especially if I require any meds if there is a diagnosis?

Ssri weight gain
I am on escitalopram 10 mg once daily in the night for anxiety and depression. Tried sertraline 50 mg previously but stopped as it wasn't that effective for handling my anxiety disorder. Now escitalopram whenever i was on it, has caused atleast 5 to 6 kg weight gain and i find it extremely hard to loose weight when on the drug escitalopram. I don't know what it does to my metabolism that i find it so hard to loose weight even when proper diet and exercise is followed. Please advise a solution... should i shift to another molecule or ssri which won't effect weight? Or focus more on nutrition and exercise only

Is it depression?
I’ve been feeling emotionally numb and disconnected for a while, with very low motivation and almost no sense of contentment even after achieving things like getting multiple job offers. I experience frequent overthinking, but sometimes my mind goes completely blank or numb, which affects my mood and ability to function. Recently, I’ve also noticed memory issues, difficulty focusing, and even trouble recalling words or conversations. I feel constantly mentally exhausted, irritable, and physically drained, along with dizziness at times. On top of this, I’m dealing with a stressful family environment where I feel controlled and unable to have personal space, which adds to my frustration and sense of being stuck. I’m confused about my career decisions, feel overwhelmed by everything happening at once, and often feel like I’m not in control of my life or moving forward, even though I am. Overall, I feel detached, tired, and unsure how to manage my thoughts, emotions, and situation.
