Hi.
I understand your concern .
Sad mood /mood swings /irritability / lack of sleep are features of depression .
paranoid features suggest psychosis or psychotic depression.
It can be treated with medicine s/ psychotherapy / behaviour therapy / ECT etc.
Choice of therapy is depend upon symptoms and its severity.
Medicines like SSRI can be useful. In SSRI sertraline / escitalopram / peroxetine can help.
It is useful for moderate to severe depression .
Psychotherapy and psychological councelling can help in mild depression.
ECT means electro convulsive therapy is the choice in psychotic depression .
Go for proper psychological evaluation and get well soon .
Consult psychiatrist and get help .
I hope I have answered your question .
Thank you .
