Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Variety of possible: Reasons. You could have very poor quality sleep. You could have atypical depression, you could have a medical (i.e. Endocrine) problem. The best way to find out is through a comprehensive medical evaluation. Would start with your family physician. S/he can then determine if specialty evaluations are required. Take care.

Hi. I need advise. I had depression and in 2011 I was at a point where I prayed for my life to be taken as it meant nothing. Never went to see a professional. It went better. My mom asked if I am okay since I sleep a lot again. Do I need to see a pro?
