Hello,
You are recommended to get properly diagnosed to evaluate the type & degree of
depression. Get CBC, lab tests, Psychiatric evaluation, DSM-5 done. Your treatment will depend upon the severity of illness detected.
You may require SSRI's, SNRI's, MAOI's, antidepressants, etc. Stay away from addictions if any, lead a healthy lifestyle.
Think of what is more soothing to get over your negative emotions. Spend time with children, friends, relative or some excursion to let your mind get over the
stress.
Taking anti-depressant tablets will not help totally. If engaging yourself more in your profession can de-stress try spending more time there. Avoid
anxiety & stress, do regular exercises, take adequate sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
