Psychiatrist Dr. Vishal Garala's  Response
Hi.

I understand your concern.

Low or sad mood with loss of interest in pleasurable activities may indicate depression. Detail mental status examination and psychological thought processes will help to confirm diagnosis.

It can be treated with different modalities of treatment.

Like medicines/ psychotherapy/ ECT etc.

In medicines SSRI like sertraline/escitalopram/peroxetine will be useful.
Take doctors advise before taking any medicines.

Psychotherapy like supportive and cognitive behavior therapy can help.
ECT means electro convulsive therapy will be useful in severe depression.

Need to consult psychiatrist for better evaluation and treatment.

I hope i have answered your query.

Thank you.
