Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

You are in depression. In that case, you need antidepressant like paroxetine or escitalopram. These drugs are not available over the counter, so better to consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and consultation. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. That would help you to stay calm. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
