Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You have anxiety and depression and this has resulted in loss of job and personal life is affecting. For relief of anxiety and depression symptoms you should consult a psychiatrist for help. Medicines like SSRIs as Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, Escitalopram etc are used commonly for anxiety.
