Suggest Treatment For Depression And Anxiety Disorder

I am depressed evryday and have an anxiety disorder. But the depression affects me the most, i actually get very anxious and scared about my depression and that it will really destroy me. I also think i have PMDD. I am having blood tests and see a CBT person but nothing helps. I have PCOS too. Could this all be caused by my hormones? as it seems to fee that way. i a alsways depressed, anxious, very very angry and jealous and just extremely miserable!! please help, i feel so lost

Hi.

I understand your concern.

PCOS and PMDD has relation between them. There are many cases in which both these condition co existing. Depression even more common in these patients.

Only CBT can not help. In these require multiple modalities approach.

Hormonal treatment is necessary for PCOS and it has limited role in PMDD.

Depression and PMDD can be treated with anti depressant. SSRI is the choice in PMDD co morbid with depression. Anxiolytic can help to reduce your anxiety.

Consult psychiatrist for better assistance.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
