[|Human|] Hello, I was wondering if you could help me. For a long time now I have been feeling really low and helpless. Some days I am my old self, confident and bubbly but I can fall very quickly. Sometimes I cant sleep, I have headaches and I feel so incredibly lonely all the time even though I have family. I can only say to myself so many times that I am just down but this has been going on for a long time now and things that once were enjoyable are not anymore. Is this something I should go to my GP about? Is this depression of some sort?
[|AI|]  Hello and, Feeling low and lonely are symptoms of low mood. Low mood is experienced after sad happening in life. Normally low mood persists for a couple of after the odd happening in life. However, if low mood occurs without any precipitating event in life or persists for long duration than expected, you need to consult a psychiatrist. Depression is a separate disease process which is labelled only after presence of certain symptoms for particular period of time. Consult your psychiatrist if the symptoms are persisting for longer duration. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
