Suggest Treatment For Severe Depression

Hi There, Recently I have been struggling with severe shakes and being not able to get up in the morning because of severe depression, and non-motivation. Just wondering whether Parkinsons starts like this. Have had some severe family issues and put it down to depression, but just wondering....... Just do not really feel like going on but know I have to (3 kids).

Hello Welcome to HCM

You have problem of severe shakes or tremors. Such type of symptoms can occur in severe anxiety. Anxiety is usually associated with depression. You have also symptoms of depression as poor drive in morning and poor motivation. See parkinsons disease may show symptoms of depression and tremors which are resting tremors. But in anxiety other symptoms like sweating, restlessness etc will also be seen.

Parkinson's usually start at around 40-50 year age with features like Tremors, rigidity, change in gait, mask like face etc. Tremors along can't be considered to make diagnosis of parkinsons disease. I would advise you to consult a Neuropsychiatrist for expert evaluation of your symptoms.

Thanks
