[|Human|] I always tend to sit at home and I started hating socialising. Before I had some 10 friends and now I dont even want to talk to any of them. I find a strange and sudden change in me. Even when sitting at home I always want to watch TV or play games and watch movies. Is it depression ? Please reply.
[|AI|]  Hello thanks for asking from ChatDoctorThe complaints like decreased social interaction, sitting alone at home could be due too mild to moderate depression. More detailed evaluation is needed to confirm diagnosis. Consult a Psychiatrist for help. Medicines like Selective serotonin uptake inhibitors are mainstay of treatment for depression. Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc. are commonly used in depression. The medicines are relatively safe to use and result in improvement in about 4-6 weeks. For poor motivation and lack of Chat Doctor.  Consult a psychiatrist for prescription.Non-medicinal treatment like Cognitive therapy, relaxation exercise help in early recovery. Thanks, hope this helps you.
