How can depression be treated?
human
I was diagnosed as having depression and ptsd by a doctor and was sent to a psychiatrist. After a few meeting he said I didn t need him I needed a psychologist. After a few meetings with him he is recommending we meet fewer times a month. I sleep all the time. I m down to only eating only one meal a day. Ive lost all my friends because I refuse to socialize. I dont go anywhere until its dark outside. Not even to take out my trash. I find myself crying a lot. I m just always unhappy. I feel like I have major problems with my life. Why are these professionals basically blowing me off?

Hello,In my opinion, you need help of both psychologist and psychiatrist, basically you need cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressants.Symptoms you are showing are that of moderate to severe depression, anti-depressants are very much needed. Make sure thyroid and blood parameters are good.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Gayathri
