Hi, I think I am suffering from some sort of depression to lack something.  I am always tired, dont want to go out, stay in my room and cant bet bothered with anyone or anything.  When I have an energy drink I am a completely different person, happy and motivated.  Is there anything I can take that will trigger this positive mood

Hello The symptoms you have like persistent tiredness, poor social interaction, staying at home only etc are can occur due to depression. Lack of motivation and low mood are other symptoms. Relief with energy drinks can be explained by the fact that there is possibility that some energy drinks consists of activating substances which can cause subjective feeling of wellness. I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for expert opinion. Medicines like Serotonergic drugs as Fluoxetine, Escitalopram etc help in decreasing depressive symptoms. Other medicines as Modafinil can be used for day time drowsiness if any. Apart from medicines non-medicinal treatment like cognitive therapy by a psychologist help in removing any faulty cognitions. Try to engage yourself in outdoor games, exercise. This result in improvement of mood.Thanks
