Do I need a treatment for depression?
I am a college going student(female). Due to some circumstances, I have lost trust and faith from almost all people around me. Even after sharing my feelings with my closet friend, I feel upset, down all the time. I don't feel like doing anything and I have to literally fake my normal self in front of others to hide my trueself. I find it hard to concentrate on anything, which is affecting my studies and memory a lot. I try to overanalize things, repeatedly think about them and feel bad. It makes me very anxious and makes my heartbeat race. I need help. Do I need to consult a psychiatrist ? Do I need medication for it? Does medication improve the conditions?
