Post disease sadness
I suffered from severe viral infection last week. I am now better but after the infection somehow a feeling of depression/ sadness / lethargy is prominent in me. I feel tired purposeless and sleepy all the time. I never experienced such state before. Past 2-3 days its been so evident that I feel like crying for no reason. I have lost my appetite, grown dislike to some foods for no reason and feel withdrawn from foods. Can only eat fruits , juices and bread butter and nothing else. Please advise why I am feeling so all of sudden and what can I do to remove this feeling bcz its very annoying now.

Hello,
These symptoms are suggestive of depression. Depression symptoms include feeling low all the time, loss of interest in previous pleasurable activity, crying spells, feeling lonely, difficulty in concentration, change in appetite and sleep, low in energy, confidence, hopeless, helpless, worthless feeling and sometime even suicidal ideas. Few of them or all can be present at a time. Depending on the severity your treatment will be decided. Symptoms worsens with time so its advisable to take help from mental health professionals as early as possible. Viral fever has precipitated these symptoms.
Next Steps
