Psychiatrist 's  Response
hiiii

you seem to have postpartum depression
and medicines that have u taken is good but no need of amitriptiline

depranil contains escitalopram 10 mg if u don't feel better than increase up to 20 mg if require

postpartum depression has good prognosis . you will be ok within 4 to 6 months if u take regular treatment

as per my opinion mood alert also has no role
try to change if possible if your psychiatrist agree with that
have faith and positive thinking
do regular exercise and meditations
yoga and deep breathing
proper sleep and diet
enjoy your hobbies and keep yourself busy
get well soon
thank you
