Dear sir, I am 52 years old. For the past 10 days, I am suffering from heavy depression due to some sudden deaths of persons known to me. I feel I may also go soon. I took some medical tests. Every thing was fine. I consulted psychiatrist. He advised me to take stilnoct 6.25 mg for 10 days. Now I fear a lot about my end of the life without any particular reason. Not able to sleep, eat, speak freely .always some fear in my mind. Pl advise. Thanking you sir.

Surprising to see your illness anxiety is not being treated for the same and you have been prescribed just a sleeping pill. Get a second opinion for your fear and axneoty from ankther psychiatrist. Good luck.

This is not depression. It is acute grief reaction which developed after death or loss of loved one. Similar picture like depression occur. You can consult psychiatrist & psychologist for further management & psychotherapy.
