This is an interesting perspective. My takeaway from the OP was not "depressed" in a clinical way--and I certainly could be wrong there. But I thought it was more a case of being young, overly focused on university, and needing to get out and live a bit. If it IS clinical depression, then your advice is excellent.

Can’t hurt to get a psychiatrist. FWIW this sounds like textbook depression to me. OP has a great job at 23 and sounds 100% focused on failing classes in college

Yes, it is probably not as severe as I put it, but I do think seeing a doctor would do no harm (hopefully).
