Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

The symptoms like low mood, confrontational nature, poor libido, crying spells, suicidal ideation, laziness and drowsiness etc can occur due to depression. These symptoms need proper evaluation by a psychiatrist and proper treatment. If you don't have insurance then you can visit a GP nearby for evaluation. Medicines like SSRIs can help to reduce the symptoms of depression. Sertraline, Fluoxetine, Paroxetine etc can help to improve her mood and she will come out of the depression.

Apart from this cognitive therapy has excellent results in depression. This will help to reduce unwanted and faulty thought processes and will help. Visit a doctor for evaluation.

Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care
