Hello Akshay. The symptoms you are describing indicate that you are having Depression. Let me know the duration of these symptoms as well so that I can guide you accordingly. Depression is an actual biological disorder and occurs when the neurotransmittors in the brain are deficient. Depression is very much treatable. Management includes 1) Medications (of severe and prolonged enough) - like SSRIs / SNRIs - take 1-2 weeks to act and need to be taken for 6-9 months to prevent further relapses. 2) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (alone or in combination with medications)- to reduce negative thinking and improve coping skills 3) Mindfulness for stress management 4) Lifestyle and diet changes Let me know if you need any further help. Regards.

Akshay, you're 25 and facing constant overthinking, disturbing thoughts, lack of focus, disconnection from people, and not feeling happiness. These signs may point toward an underlying anxiety or mood-related issue. When these thoughts and feelings persist, they can affect daily life and mental well-being. A proper psychiatric evaluation is important to understand the root cause—whether it's anxiety, depression, or something else. Treatment is personalized and includes therapy, lifestyle changes, and if needed, medication. I recommend booking an audio-video consultation that will guide you with the right support and help you feel better. Dr Aman Shaba Consultant Psychiatrist 799289808
