Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Macorate contains valproate and it is a mood stabilizer. In depression, patient needs antidepressant or benzodiazepine. Mood stabilizer could be used, but at later stage. You should consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management. In case, you need further help, you can consult me.

Thanks
