Q. How can someone overcome work-related stress and depression?
Hello doctor,
I am 29 years old and suffering from stress and depression. Whenever there is work pressure, I get depressed and cannot handle my moods. When anyone related to me gets sick I search about the condition on the internet and end up getting depressed, thinking it is cancer or more serious disorders. I got married recently, and I love my wife. However, this depression and mood disturbances ended in having a relationship with another girl, and I feel guilty about it.
Kindly help.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for your response.
I had a breakup one year back, and I was completely down for 3 to 4 months. At that time, I could not concentrate on my work, which made me depressed at first; going on further, I had lots of problems with my colleagues too. This led to an extramarital relationship, but I also feel guilty because I am cheating on my wife.
What should I do?
Thank you.

First, you need to concentrate on reducing your depression. For that, you need to take some counseling sessions with a therapist. Practice some breathing exercises and expose yourself to nature by trekking or going for a walk. It will help you to reduce your depression, and you can take a counseling session to heal completely.
