Talk to Psychiatry on Concern About My Mental And Physical Health
Asking for Self, Female, 20 years old, Quetta
For the last few years, I have lost about 10 kg of weight and I cannot gain it back. I don't feel hungry most of the time, so I eat very little. I overthink a lot, and my mind either feels completely blank or like it never stops thinking. I sleep for 15 hours or even more, but I still feel tired all the time. I get angry or upset very easily and often argue with my close family or friends over small things. I don't know why this is happening, but these problems have been affecting my daily life for a long time. Someone told me I might have severe clinical depression, so I want to get checked and understand what is causing these symptoms.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. The symptoms you describe including significant weight loss, poor appetite, excessive sleep with persistent fatigue, overthinking, irritability, and difficulty functioning ,can occur with depression, anxiety, or other medical conditions such as thyroid disorders, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal or chronic illnesses. A proper evaluation is important before concluding the cause.I would recommend a comprehensive psychiatric assessment along with a physical examination and some baseline investigations, including CBC, thyroid function tests , blood glucose, liver and kidney function tests, serum Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, ferritin/iron studies, and other tests as indicated after examination. The good news is that these symptoms are treatable, and many people improve significantly with the right combination of treatment, lifestyle changes, and psychological support. Please arrange an in person consultation with a psychiatrist at your earliest convenience so an individualized treatment plan can be made.If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or feel unsafe at any time, please seek immediate help.Early treatment offers the best chance of a full recovery.

Significant weight loss, poor appetite, excessive sleep, fatigue, and changes in mood can be caused by both physical and mental health conditions. A psychiatrist would likely recommend a comprehensive evaluation, along with a physical examination and basic blood tests to rule out medical causes. Once the underlying cause is identified, an appropriate treatment plan can be started. Please don’t delay seeking professional help, as these symptoms have been affecting you for a long time.
The symptoms you're describing may be related to depression, anxiety, or another underlying condition, but a proper psychological assessment is important before reaching any conclusion. Therapy can help identify the root cause, improve your mood, manage overthinking, and restore your daily functioning. If you'd like professional support, you can book your appointment
