Hello,

Apart from conventional antidepressant medications, the most needed in your case are following

- joining a supportive group of patients with similar issues
- regular counselling with the psychologist
- lifestyle modifications as regular walking, exercises, YOGA meditations, relaxation techniques
- sleep cycle regulation
- behaviour therapy

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
