Prolonged depression and treatment
Dear Doctor, I was healthy and very rarely visited hospital before my marriage with a foreigner girl in 2013. Life was okay for two years since then everything turned down due to difference of opinion with my wife. Though being a father of two, I am not living a happy life. Lost interest in everything including personal hygiene. No exercise and no job(before marriage I was a journalist for about 10 years). I have become evidently lethargic and inactive. But I don't get suicidal thought and I am sure I won't. But I can not really handle this and finding very difficult to bring back my old self. Do inactive and sedentary lifestyle cause severe depression? Because l feel l am facing it. Now, since 2017 l have been visiting hospitals very frequently for bloating, heartburn, chest tightness, dizziness and insomnia. Do all theses problems exist because of my mental instability?

Dear sir , I feel sorry for your current condition. I know how difficult it would be to go through all this. Predominantly you are explaining the mixed symptoms of anxiety and depression ( needs clinical evaluation). Marital disharmony can cause further conflict in this. You need a clinical psychologist does martial therapy and Cognitive therapy.
Please avoid online session and try offline with a expert.
Next Steps
Meet clincial psychologist in your city , who does Cognitive therapy and martial therapy as i do together. Initially you a need a evaluation .
Health Tips
Jacobson muscle relaxation, Cognitive behavior therapy, individual therapy, conflict resolution ( all needs to be confirmed after seeing client )
My wishes for your speedy recovery.

Hi.. It seems you have lost hope in your life. And it is causing you to feel lethargic, inactive, and unable to maintain personal hygiene. The treatment will require certain amount of commitment on your part to act. You will not get better unless you are willing to do things that are necessary. Bringing back a healthy routine is one such thing. If you have that willingness to act, you can consult me.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Lifestyle Guidance and Interpersonal Relationship Counselling is required.
