Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there, thanks for asking. A very good way to manage the depressed mood is to add talk sessions (psychotherapy) to the medication. The therapist can look at your situation as well and address the possible stress factor that is affecting the brain and is changing its efficacy. I wish you the best mood.
