Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi dear

I understand your concern.

Depression can present with low and irritating mood . There are mood swings too.

But only on this symptoms we can not say it is depression.

Depression require proper assessment of mental status and thought process.

It can bbe treated with SSRI.

In SSRI , escitalopram/sertraline etc is the choice but selection is based on symptoms and presentation.

Do consult before taking any medicine.

Consult psychiatrist and get help.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.
Always here to help you. Thank you.
