Hello
Thanks for your query.

I will try my best to provide you with best possible professional recommendations to your questions.

Treatment may include addressing any medical conditions that cause or worsen depression. For example, an individual who is found to have low levels of thyroid hormone might receive thyroid hormone replacement with levothyroxine.

Other components of treatment may be supportive therapy, such as changes in lifestyle and behavior, psychotherapy, complementary therapies, and may often include medication.

Only drugs will not be helpful along with that family support, lifestyle and behavioral changes are also required.

Yet again, I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Regards
I find this answer helpful
