How Can Depression And Symptoms Of Menopausal Symptoms Be Treated?

I lost my husband last year at the age of only 55 & we had been together for almost 30yrs. I had to move in with my sister & between grieving & meopause since I'm almost 60, I am sad all the time. I took care of him at home with hospice & haven't worked in a long time. I know I have to get back to work but have lost my confidence & have been so forgetful lately. I'm on amlodipine & losartan for high blood pressure. What supplements can I take for grieve & menopause since I have to be careful because I also have inactive Hep C?
