What Are The Symptoms Of Anxiety And Depression?

Hi, I’m a 26 year old female. I have noticed that for several years I have an excessive amount of energy and need to go out and do something when I wake up, but as the day continues, I lose total motivation. If I don’t do something right in that moment of energy, I will most likely end up doing nothing. I don’t know if this is related to my anxiety and depression (although I am not full on depressed, I am just as frequently hyped up as I am depressed) or something else. I have never been tested for any kind of attention disorder but I am wondering if this is possible. I also procrastinate on tasks, such as schoolwork, until the very last minute and get distracted easily from it. Other times I get really focused (usually because I am at the end of a deadline). I also have sleeping issues. I will often stay up throughout the night, sometimes being ok with a couple of hours of sleep and other times sleeping 10-12. I know I can’t get an official diagnosis, but an opinion on what it sounds like will be helpful.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Excessive energy is hyper behavior pattern and is unipolar disorder. But immediately after that you fall depressed or low in energy. From the given symptoms it can be termed as symptoms related to anxiety disorder. I suggest counseling and psychotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
