Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Hope I can be of help for you today. If you do not have severe depression it can get better by taking medicines or talking with a counselor. Many people who take medicines start to feel better within 2 weeks, but sometime it might be 4 to 8 weeks before the medicine has its full effect. And seeing a counselor will start to feel better within a few weeks, but it also might take 8 to 10 weeks to get the greatest benefit. You can follow sleep hygiene and also can help you to sleep better.

I hope that It can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or question about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I hope you have good health.

Best regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General and Family Physician
