Answer 1

What you describe are common symptoms of depression. You should see a doctor and tell him/her the problems you are having. He/she can check you out to see if Depression is the problem or if your symptoms are due to a physical illness.

Whatever your symptoms are due to, they are not normal and only a doctor can do tests to know for sure what the problem is. May God bless you and may you return to health soon.

You might be. If you have health insurance, tell you mom that you want to see a therapist.

When you go, just tell them what is bothering you. They might tell just talk with you and that in of itself might help, but they could send you psychiatrist that would prescribe you some meds.

I know that when I went, they told me... like first thing... they were going to put me on some meds and that they would keep evaluating me until they thought that they might be able to take me off of them.

Sometimes depression is situational... it isn't always some chemical imbalance inside you. There are meds for both.

We all go through this from time to time. You don't always know about it until someone tells you. Everything will be okay.

Good Luck!

Hi. Seeing your GP is a good start. Depression is one cause of your symptoms, however you may also need to consider chronic fatigue syndrome. As a student you have alot of stressors particularly academically. What you are experiencing is not uncommon. :)
