How Can Stress, Depression And Weight Issues Be Treated?

I haven't had medications in over a year since I was fired. I was on Phentermine for weight loss and Zoloft for behavior, stress, depression, etc. I feel that it's only getting worse! Is there anything I can do to pick me up rather than stay indoors and be anti-social? I'm stuck!

Hello and thank you for your question.
The best ways to treat depression are medications, exercise and counseling. The more of these you do the more likely you are to get some relief from the depression. Eating healthy foods and taking a multivitamin can help you as well. Avoiding carbohydrate rich foods like sweets, fruits, bread, rice, potatoes and pasta can help with your weight loss. Exercising for 30-60 minutes a day will also help with weight loss. It can just be walking but it needs to be every day.
Good luck to you.
