5.How Do You Know if You Have It?
Tell your doctor about your symptoms. They’ll ask about your family history and check to see if you have other conditions that could cause similar problems. For example, low energy could be a sign of a virus, thyroid problems, or low blood sugar. Lack of sleep, weight gain, and feeling moody might be symptoms of hormone issues and other things not related to seasonal changes.
6.Treatment: Medication
Your doctor might suggest an antidepressant drug called a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI.) These pills help keep more serotonin in your brain, which can help mood and sleep. Ask about the risks and side effects, which might include dry mouth, nausea, sleep problems, dizziness, headache, and sexual problems. You may need to try different SSRIs or other antidepressants to find one that works best for you.
