Yes, it could be. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to diagnose these symptoms and formulate a treatment plan which may include medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist. Also, please have a complete physical exam to determine if some of your symptoms are due to a physical problem.
