Advice from Annie Lane.
: I am a 48-year-old male living at home with my folks and older sister. We are a close-knit family and do things together often. I couldn’t be happier to have them in my life.
Could this be some kind of depression of sorts or a midlife crisis change? I am single, never married, no children, so I really don’t know what I am personally going through. I guess I’m afraid to ask my doctor about it. Can you give me some advice on what it is? I appreciate your input very much.It’s normal to feel down in the dumps sometimes, even if you’re generally content with your life.
There’s no need to be afraid of talking to your doctor; he or she can help you determine whether what you’re experiencing is depression, or perhaps something else, and can suggest appropriate treatments or changes.It also might help to look into new activities that can bring a sense of excitement or challenge to your life. Consider taking a class, volunteering or joining a group that aligns with an interest you’ve always wanted to explore.
