Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

1. You probably require to continue divalproex and escitalopram for soe time longer. Your detailed clinical history and treatment is required to know why the neuroloist prescribed the medicines. From MRI scan I confirm it is normal and there is no serious problem.
