I went through your details. Depression due to menopause is normal with almost every woman. In your case, you are having depressive disorder and you are getting treatment for the last 10 years. Now you are experiencing the current symptoms because of menopause. Please understand the best way of treatment is with your psychiatrist. Also request your psychiatrist about psychotherapy and meditation. Along with pharmacotherapy, these two has wondeful curative powers.
