Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are distessed due to your problems. From the brief description of your symptoms, it is possible that you could be going through a depressive episode. However a detailed history and slinical assessment is needed to confirm your diagnosis.

So, I would advise that you both consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation. Don't worry, help is available in the form of medication or psychological therapy. So, please don't hesitate to seek professional help.

Wish you all the best.
