Suggest Therapy For Depression

I am 19 and my weight is 135. I am on Ocella also. I am already on prozac for depression and Concerta for ADD. I have been feeling really depressed, but some events have been happening in my life, for instance being turned down from an excellent job , not making enough money to pay for rent when going back to school since i dont have a job, and I had a sist removed from my face leaving me unable to show facial exressions. I feel like I cant pay attention as well as I use to also. Should I increase my dosage for Prozac and Concerta? Also I have this weird feeling that I cant communicate with people, for instance telling my mom where I am, or telling/reminding my sisters that I need the car. I remember to do it I just discard it. Why does this happen?

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern.

I think that depression is not under control with this dose of prozac. I would like to know the dose of prozac that you are taking.

The problem in communicating with people may be caused by depression. It can cause slow thinking and acting.
I recommend you to consult with your psychiatrist to consider increasing the dose of prozac.

Psychotherapy may show good results on you. You should discuss this possibility with your psychiatrist.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings! Dr. Aida
