What causes mental dullness, low energy and suicidal thoughts?
human
HelloI am female, 17 years of age. I think since the age of 12, I have been having episodes of mental dullness, low energy, loss of appetite, poor concentration and suicidal thoughts. I have also had episodes of when I feel very confident, bubbly, motivated, talkative and I feel energetic, even though I have slept for 2-3 hours. These episodes are interfering with my relationship with people and my academic progress. I tried counselling but it didn't help. I went GP and they have referred to a mental hospital to be analysed but they are taking their time. What do I do?

HIThanks for using healthcare magicI think, you have underline depression or depressive personality. In that case, you need antidepressant like paroxetine, escitalopram in treatment and that would help to regain confidence. You should consult a psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated properly. In case you need our help, you can ask.Thanks
