Hi sir/ madam
Welcome to health care magic,
I can certainly understand your concern towards your symptoms you are suffering with...First of all I wanna find out how is your sleep pattern and your daily activity as these may get disturbed in anxiety and depression and the other symptoms that are bothering you like easy fatiguability, lack of interest in work..... Because if these are present , you would definitely needs to be treated.
I can suggest you some drugs like antidepressants ie escitalopram ,which works both on anxiety and depression ...As per my knowledge , you can get these medications only with prescription....But you can try in some stores... Please let me know your place...So that I ll see if I can help you
But definitely there is necessity for you to be treated for atleast 6-9 months, if You have any of the above symptoms...Please take care
Post your further questions if any, I will always be available to answer them
Thank you
