I'm really worried because I've been dealing with depression symptoms for three months now and I've noticed that when I dont take my medication, I end up with a headache. I was on nexito forte and lesuride for the past month but my doctor switched my lesuride dose to sulpitac 50. To be honest, I really dont want to rely on medication. Can you tell me how long I'll need to keep taking these meds?

I'm finding that sometimes I'm just fine and everything's normal, but then out of nowhere, I get really hyper and act rudely to people around me. Right after that, I feel super uncomfortable and just want to be alone for a while. Its like I cant stop thinking too much about even the smallest things, and it really hurts. What could be going on with me?

stop overthinking. start doing things which make you happy. speak with people you love

What happens in brain during depression?

Hippocampus in the brain releases cortisol. The influx of cortisol triggered by depression causes the amygdala to enlarge. This is a part of the brain associated with emotional responses. When it becomes larger and more active, it causes sleep disturbances, changes in activity levels, and changes in other hormones.

I'm dealing with this anxiety thing, but it's mostly fine during the day. The issue is, for the last three nights, I've been having these heart palpitations. They last for about 5 or 6 seconds, and my heart suddenly starts racing. I'm just wondering, is this kind of thing normal when you have anxiety?

Yes, experiencing heart palpitations can be a common symptom of anxiety, especially if they occur during periods of stress or at night when your mind might be more focused on your worries. However, it is important to rule out any potential heart conditions.
