What Are The Symptoms Of Neurotransmitter Imbalance?
Is there depression without sadness? I dont feel sad, but i cant enjoy doing things i used to do. In the past year, my life is better overall, I got a better job that i like, better relationship with my parents, more and closer friends, I go out a lot, but I feel the same way all the time. The same way that I feel in a monday morning is the way that I in a saturday night. I cant enjoy listening to music as before... but I just dont feel sad, my thoughts are not negative (but i have been overthinking). I think theres neurotransmitter imbalance, I've been reading about it. As far I remember it all started after I did drugs (lsd + cocaine), I dont use it anymore (last time was like 2 months ago).
Waiting for your help, thanks.

Hello,
Almost all mental illnesses are due to neurotransmitter imbalance.
Your description suggest that you have dysthymia but not depression. Dysthymia is a milder but chronic version of depression.
Drug abuse can result in this condition but it resolves after one month of stoppage of drugs. So yours is a distinct problem.
Please start with low doses of escitalopram ir visit your nearest psychiatrist.
Thanks.
