Evaluation Needed: Many of the symptoms you are describing could be consistent with depression. But an evaluation by a medical professional is needed. If there is depression it could be mild, moderate or severe, with or without psychotic features, unipolar or bipolar, acute or chronic. Possible organic causes need to be ruled in or ruled out. A thorough evaluation can guide possible treatment. Get seen. Take care.
