Chronic Stress, Depression: Causes, Management Explored
Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I've been experiencing numerous crises, including uncontrolled crying, shortness of breath, fainting spells, and memory lapses. These symptoms have made it challenging to carry out basic activities like working and going to the gym. Any suggestions on what might be causing this or what steps I should take?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Chronic stress and repeated crises can lead to depression if left unresolved. This is because our brain's ability to maintain its normal routines for daily tasks is diminished due to excessive energy consumption in the areas of thinking and emotions. When there's a noticeable impairment in daily activities, medication alongside psychotherapy may be necessary.

Thanks
