Hello
The treatment suggest that your friend is suffering from depression.
But the choice of drugs is not appropriate in my opinion.
Parocen and aspirito are two drugs from same clas and arenot needed simultaneously. This will increase side effects.
Either of the two drugs are to be given. The dose can be increased depending on response.

Thanks.
