Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion it is important to check the thyroid function and hemoglobin level. It is important to start antidepressants and cognitive behavioural therapy. Behavioural activation by engaging in activities for minimal duration. Do moderate exercise and take adequate diet.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
