Hi I am facing problem Unable to concentrate. Even if I give my full focus to something, I can easily get watery eyes in 15 mins. I suffer from excess day time sleepiness. After having lunch it becomes worst. Inspite of taking light lunch like salad or 2 chapatis, I tend to feel drowsy but after that if I try to sleep putting my head down on desk, I am unable to sleep and feel pressure inside my head. At morning also my day starts with headache. I have depression and good swings too. My leg muscles pain even while walking or climbing a stair. I have excess acne and dandruff since 8 years. My foot remains numb. Stomach gets swelled at evening. Have gastric problem, acidity and constipation too. Even if I sleep everyday but I do not feel relaxed after waking up. Head always remains heavy. I know after reading this you would feel this is just anxiety and depression problems. But I am actually feeling all these. Some doctor says it is hypothyroidism. Some say it is nerve problem. Some say it is migraine. Some say just anxiety and depression and give me sleeping pills which causes headache at morning with no actually relief. I do not know which doctor to Consult Now for these multiple problems. please help. I badly need your help.

You definitely need to get a thorough medical about all your physical problems. After that a psychiatric evaluation will be necessary. The two problems may be connected but it is still useful to get both a medical opinion and a psychiatric assessment. Depression and anxiety are likely obvious diagnosis. In the meantime please do the following sincerely because you could resolve the problem better with good cooperation: Have a good night?s sleep, have a good breakfast of more proteins, meditate often, remain free of stress, eat a lot of fiber, nuts, avocado, exercise regularly, eat dark chocolate, do Yoga meditation exercises, etc. I suggest you do the opposite of what this depression makes you feel like doing (actually, not doing): you will need to fight this condition. You must become active; stay upright during the daylight time; meet people; never sleep during the day, wake up by 6 am every day, play some active games, especially contact games, do physical exercises, talk to people and join some social clubs, attend Yoga classes etc. Watch sitcoms on TV or comedies and cheer yourself up. Go for excursions in groups, for outings, camps, conferences, and religious conventions. Get a pet dog and spend time training it, exercising it and relating to it. Expose yourself to some sunlight every day, at least, 30 minutes but not in the scorching heat. Whatever happens, please incorporate these three important adaptations in your life: always be responsible, be respectful, and be functional. If you did these three, lots of things will go well in life. Please pray and have faith in God to alleviate your sufferings. Don?t wait for others to help. Use your own motivation, which might be at its lowest, but persevere and win this battle. Above all to be really happy, you need to live in love and for love. Learn all about emotions and how to handle them and that will get you out of the depression rather easily and quickly. A counselor is there only to facilitate you, all the hard word must come from you, and your cooperation with that person is very critical for your success. Be positive every day and learn to be contented with what you have. Do some left brain exercises: it is the happy brain. Here are a few suggestions: shut your left nostril and breathe, move your eyes from right to left and vice versa for at least half a minute at a time, and do calisthenic exercises with some form of counting, regularly. Whatever happens please cooperate with the therapy and do not discontinue until the condition is completely resolved.
