Hello,
you.should start an antidepressant or best is to get yourself evaluated in detail by a psychiatrist in person.
You may take sertraline 25-50mg initially and within a week or two you will start feeling a lot better.
You should.continue the meds for 4-6 months after sufficient response is achieved and later taper and stop it.
Hope this medicine helps you to beat low mood!
