Extreme Mood Swings. Confident, Happy In A Minute To Sad, Self Conscious And Depressed To Another. Help

I dont know what to do. I have crazy mood swings, I will be happy and the smallest insignificant thing will upset me and make me feel depressed. I am confident and happy and fun one day then sad self conciouse and depressed the next for no reason. I have a lot of trouble focusing and I really need to do something about this. It was pointed out by my boyfriend who suggested I talk to someone about it but unfortunately I cant afford it. Its affecting my life and I cant continue like this.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Mental health is just as important as physical health and one generally influences the other.
Depression is a common mental illness that can have a significant impact on a person's life.

It is associated with sadness, loss of interest in activities, difficulty concentrating, feelings of guilt, fatigue, change in sleep or eating habits.

It would be best to be assessed by someone, if possible, treatment involves the use of medication and counselling.

The time frame of the medications vary but in general they are used for at least 6 to 12 months.

I hope this helps
