Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your depression. Since this seems to be affecting you in many ways, I would suggest that you get professional help by consulting a psychiatrist in person. There are good treatment options for depression - like anti-depressant medication and counselling - which can help you overcome your symptoms.

Regarding masturbation, this is considered as a normal sexual behaviour in teenage and it doesn't cause any adverse health consequences. So, you needn't worry or feel guilty about this.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
