Dear Kimberly, I went through your query and can understand what you must be going through. Feeling sad and irritable, not able to enjoy things and anxiety are symptoms suggestive of a depressive episode. You should consult a psychiatrist for undergoing complete evaluation of your symptoms and initiating treatment. Treatment with anti-depressant drugs like escitalopram or sertraline would be safe and effective in helping you come out of depression. These medications are slow to act and you will have to be patient about the response which will need at least 2 weeks after starting the medications. In addition to medications, you should also start exercising daily. It will help you relax and feel better. I do hope I was able to help with your query. Best wishes. Dr. Sunil Gupta
