DEPRESSION AND INSOMNIA
Sir, I can fall asleep only by late night at 3:00 AM. I had retinal detachment surgery 3 months back due to which I had fallen in depression. Everything is fine now but I feel that I am still suffering from depression as I can't fall asleep early at night and for all day long I feel exhausted and tired even without any work. I had tried to correct my sleep routine so I can fall asleep latest by 11:00 pm but I get fail to do so. Sir is there any medication for such problem?

Dear Sir
It must be quite difficult for you.
You can try some sleep hygiene techniques like not drinking caffeine, alcohol and not smoking, exercising preferably in the morning, keeping your room comfortable, limit digital screen time before sleep, go to bed only when you are tired and sleepy and trying some relaxation like meditation before sleep
Sleep problem is a vicious cycle and the more stressed you become because you are unable to sleep, the more difficult it will be for you to sleep. So try to relax.
If you are still unable to sleep, please seek help from a psychiatrist in person for a detailed evaluation and Treatment.
Thanks
Regards

Understanding ur distress. Sleep is one of d symptoms of underlying depression. Depression is quite common following a operative procedure. U must be having other symptoms too, like low mood, lack of initiative, decreased self confidence etc. Good thing is depression is very much treatable and recovery rate is quite high following successful treatment.
