Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In your case, you can try some antidepressant like bupropion. It helps to increase dopamine level in brain. You can also try dopamone partial agonist like aripiprazole. It is atypical antipsychotic and that help to increase dopamine. At low dose, it acts like antidepressant. Better to consult your psychiatrist about these drugs. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
