What to do if my wife is abusive and dislikes my family?

Hello doctor,

My wife is very abusive and says the wrong things sometimes. Her mood goes off, and she remains like that for two to three days. After which, I have to make a lot of effort by saying sorry so many times, and then she would become normal. During such a period, she will not talk or talk only through messages or talk in an angry way, and she behaves very angrily. Then she says anything and becomes very angry, and she starts shouting. She has mood swings issues. When she was a month and a half pregnant, her mood was bad for seven straight days. She does not like my parents and sister and does not want them to stay with us. A month back, when my son was born, my parents had come to see the baby. She did not like them visiting and wanted to send them out. But, she could not succeed in sending my parents back, so she forced me to drop her and our son at her parent's place. She does not want to come back, and she says that my mom and sister are doing black magic, and I support them. She is threatening divorce now. Earlier, she told me that during her childhood, her father used to beat her mother and used abusive words. She is very fond of her mother and wants to stay with her mother and does not want to come back. What should I do?

Can low serotonin cause fatigue and loss of appetite?

Hi doctor,

I am a 21 year old male. For the past three weeks, I have been feeling sick. My symptoms are a feeling of general fatigue of my entire body with loss of energy and appetite. Before I got sick, I spent over a week working hard. I just had food once or twice a day, drank little water and did not sleep enough hours. Also, for more than a month I am suffering from stress and anxiety in my work. I went to visit a neurologist and he said that I had a low level of serotonin. Do you think this diagnostic is accurate? I have had several blood examinations and they all come out good and I also have a tube in my stomach to check for any issues and it was all good. If it is a low level of serotonin, what do you suggest is the best way to recuperate? What should I eat? What should I avoid? The neurologist wanted me to take Lexapro, which is a pill to treat people suffering depression. I heard it has very bad side effects and I have not started taking it, as I am trying to eat healthy and rest as much as possible. Is this something that people normally get better from? Let me know, if you want to see my blood reports as I can attach it. Any of your advice or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
