Lethargic and slow to react, which department should one visit?

Patient's question:

Every day, I feel sluggish, slow to react, pessimistic, and always want to search the internet for various ways to end my life. I've already made a plan, and I've had a history of suicide attempts.
Am I suffering from mild depression or something else? Which department should I go to at the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, there is no exclusion of mental health disorders. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's psychiatric department for a follow-up examination. Relevant tests and additional psychological scale assessments should be conducted to clarify the specific situation, followed by additional psychological and medication treatment. Chinese medicine regulation can be used in conjunction to enhance symptom relief. For patients, if the condition of andrological diseases is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of andrological diseases. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
