Brief Answer:
Possible diagnosis of inactivity

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mikefrey42, thanks for asking from HCM.


I can understand your concern. You are having problem of inactivity and social withdrawal. It can be due to

: Hypothyroidism
: Depression
: Drug abuse like Cocaine/alcohol
: Chronic illness like tuberculosis.
: Mental stress
: Low vitamin B12

All these illness can cause above symptoms. You should consult doctor to rule out these. He will examine you, take your history and do blood investigations like

: Thyroid function test
: B12 level
: Complete blood count and peripheral smear
: Kidney and liver function test

If suspected, he/she will also refer you to Psychiatrist for counselling and evaluation. Only after it, diagnosis can be confirmed. Final treatment can be given after confirming diagnosis.

Hope it will help you
