Loss of interest, decreased concentration and attention, feeling low and disturbed sleep or appetite are some of the signs of depression. Consult a psychiatrist who will assess you in detail. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless, seek professional help immediately.

I understand your situation. You seem to be suffering from significant depressive symptoms. It is unclear whether there is any particular reason behind your problem. However it is easily manageable with appropriate treatment. Some structured therapy sessions along with medical help also might be useful for you. Please visit a psychiatrist. I would also be more than happy to help you with that if you are looking for online assistance. Discussions will be held confidential. You can directly consult with me through Practo as needed. Online chat consultation is also available.
