Suggest Treatment For Acute Anxiety And Sadness

my son who is 38 years old has recently been suffering from acute anxiety attacks and sadness since January this year with bouts of weeping. He has three little boys aged from 4 to 6. He tried natural anxiety relievers like but they don t seem to be very effective. He saw a psychiatric doctor who prescribed a low dose of anti depression medicine but it made his symptoms worse.

Hi,
It is proper way going to psychiatrist for his anxiety and depression problem.
One should not go for treatment in such case by his own.
Any antidepressant takes some time to give its effect so he will get relief from his depression after 4-6 weeks of starting treatment.
So continue the treatment and follow psychiatrist advice and treatment.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
