Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

Whenever I experience lethargy, my interest in activities wanes, and my ability to concentrate is severely affected. Is there a solution or remedy available to address this?

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

We must always bear in mind that psychiatry is a medical specialty, and its objectives are to diagnose diseases and seek the best possible treatment method. Many people still experience serious psychological symptoms as part of a disease affecting their overall health. However, because these symptoms are psychological, they are often not given the importance they deserve.

Psychiatric symptoms are not just feelings or thoughts triggered by everyday situations but may indicate an underlying organic disease process. Your description of intermittent lethargy, loss of interest, and concentration issues could suggest a mental health condition that needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist.

While I cannot diagnose your condition without further information, these symptoms are significant enough to seek professional help. There are treatments available, and you shouldn't wait too long, as untreated conditions can progress over time.

Please don’t be alarmed by this—it’s crucial to address mental health concerns just as we do with any other medical issue. I strongly recommend consulting a healthcare provider who can help identify the cause of your symptoms and guide you toward appropriate treatment.

Thanks
