Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You might need a higher dose of an antidepressant to take care of your remaining symptoms. Get your thyroid levels checked as they also cause anxiety and depression symptoms. Contact your psychiatrist to get educated about your illness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rohit Kothari
