hi


i understand your concern.


sometimes depression and anxiety may have combine etiology and combine features.

Anxiety features are sweating, shaking, increase heart rate, palpitations etc.

Depression features are like low mood and lost of interest in activity.

Sleep problem etc.

This kind of condition can be treated with SSRI means escitalopram/sertraline/peroxetines etc.

Drug selection can depend on symptoms that you have.

anxiolytic like etizolam can help to reduce anxiety attack.


So do consult psychiatrist and get help.


I hope i have answered your query.

Still have a query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
