Consult a psychiatrist

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

The symptoms, which you have mentioned, are towards depression and in that case, you need antidepressant like escitalopram, sertraline or venlafaxine. These medicine would help you to come out of depressive phase. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper management as these medicines are not available over the counter.

In case, you need further help, you can ask.
