A problem that is nagging me for quite many years is that I have problem as follows: I am not able to stay focused, concentrate properly, feel lethargic and depressed, unmotivated, feeling of apathy, fatigue, inability to connect with others or complete tasks, helplessness, memory loss, no joy, energy etc. Recently I happened to go through a video explaining that deficiency of dopamine is the main reason for the above problems and recommended that deficiency can be replenished through various fruits and vegetables. I am person who is having a very high nutritional food on a daily basis. But I also take two insulins, metformin, metoprolol, cilnidipine, telmisartan, statin clopid and ecosprin for the last 09 years. BP and DM medicines for the last 13-14 years. Please should I need to take dopamine enhancing medicine to get rid of the problems above since I have all of the problems above which have caused rut in my life till date. I plead that I be provided with a convincing answer to proceed ahead in life.

I totally understand that is very hard to deal with medical conditions for a long time and be on medications on a daily basis for physical health problems. On top of those, you may be drained of the possibility of being depressed due to chronic medical conditions, the symptoms of which you have laid out in your description of problems. I also believe that you may need to have medications started for your depression and it is usually a short course of 3-4 months with a subsequent 2-month taper. If you believe you need help with the same, consult with a psychiatrist as soon as possible to get the best possible relief. Take care and have a lovely day!
