Brief Answer:
Antidepressant medications and CBT sessions will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your query in detail.

You possibly seem to have relapsing form of Major depressive disorder.

You require a course of antidepressant and antianxiety medications for a minimum of 2 years.

I generally prescribe oral pills of Tab Escitalopram 10 mg initially twice a day for 3 months followed by 5 mg twice a day for another 3 months.This should be supplemented by Oral pills Of Clonazepam 0.5 mg once daily at bedtime for 3 months followed by 0.25 mg for another 3 months.The above drugs are available with doctor's prescription only.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.

Simultaneously you can continue Aswagandha.

Additionally I also recommend 3-6 weekly sessions of CBT(cognitive and behavioural therapy ) sessions will help.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
