Suffering from depression

I am a mbbs doc having low mood, lost all interest in activities and life itself after getting diagnosed with cervical and lumbar disc bulge. I am feeling worthless and have anhedonia too. I can't eat anything as I have no appetite and only eat two times a day. I hate my job because i can't indulge myself in it. Everyday feels so exhausting and I feel like I have lost my purpose. Is there any hope left and is it possible to regain my interest as I have only a few months left for the next neet pg?

General query

While visiting a hospital for my wife's vaccination I have seen that nurse has taken cotton with spirit but she said that this is wrong injection so I went for changing it and after coming I have seen that she used the cotton she kept on table for rubbing skin and needle wipe .
