How To Deal With Depression And Negative Mindedness?

hello,
I'm an aspirational young man with high goals in life. I'm loosing all my hopes, aims because of stupid reasons which i'm totally aware of. My life is moving very nicely currently but inside i have feeling that i'm not happy. I'm not able to do what I plan because of which i repent and I'll be sad most of times. One of the important problems that I identified in myself are lazy, lonely and masturbating.
I have totally lost interest in life and i have become weak minded and negative minded. Also, my level of self confidence is totally decreasing. I'm totally running for happiness in life..Please help me in this sir...

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I read your query and understand the distress you might be under. You seem to be suffering from depressive episode which can explain most of your symptoms and negative thinking.

I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for the same. Currently safe and effective drugs like escitalopram, sertraline, etc are available which can help you overcome depression. You can also consider the option of cognitive behavior therapy in which sessions will be taken to help change your thinking pattern and teaching you ways to relax. You can discuss about the same with a psychiatrist.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
