General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your problem.
I would suggest you not to take any medications by yourself. Stop smoking and drinking liquor. Engage in the activities in which you are interested like listening music, reading positive books, watching good shows on TV, any kind of sport activity, swimming, etc. I would also suggest you to do meditations daily for at least 20 minutes, it really helps in stabilizing mood. Talk with people and make new friends and take life positively. Before going to sleep, eat a banana, which will helpful in sound sleep.
If the problem persists for long, then you need to consult a psychiatric to confirm the diagnosis of mood disorder and start treatment.
Hope this answers your question and let me know any of your follow up questions, i will be glad to help you.
