Dear Laura: I understand your apprehension, and it seems that your symptoms of depression have worsened and you have been experiencing a lot of other symptoms associated with this condition. You may want to consult a psychiatrist for psycho therapy which may be a good option for you along with some medications. Also, you need to continue the therapy and medications, and if you feel some side effects from the medications you need to co ordinate with your doctor to adjust the dosage or change up the medication without taking any breaks in your treatment. You should feel improvement in your symptoms slowly with therapy. Follow a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle for an effective outcome. |
