Suggest Remedy For Anxiety And Depression

I am a 28 year old female with 2 children. I went through post partum depression and tried numerous of medications that did not seem to help. The depression went on for about 2 years and just went away. That was about 8 years ago and it has been off and on since then and I have noticed some anxiety along with it. I have tried medications for each problem but is there anything I can ask a doctor for that will help both. This feeling is driving me crazy.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Post partem disorder is normally fully curable. Over and above, PPD normally may not convert itself into chronic depression. In your case, you could be worried that PPD is following you. That could be once reason you are feeling those depressive symptoms again and again. Anxiety could also be the result of such negative thinking. You are advised to consult a psychologist or psychiatrist who should chart the way of treatment for you. No self medication please. The disorder could be very simple and do not make it complicated.

In case if you require more of my help, please post a direct query to me in this website with all the details. I will be happy to help you.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
