How To Get Rid Of Depression And Insomnia?

I have had atrial fib & had very good response in ER. On very small doses of antihypertensive & non insulin diabetes type 2. Keep a pretty active lifestyle excercise 3 days a week, looking into yoga to treat depression & major mental stress & insomnia. I have a primary care general practice & an internist as MDsa caring for me. Question: Should I consult with a cardiologist to see if my present physicians are doing GOOD PREVENTIVE MED in my particular case @ this time? My younger (65) sister just had a STROKE!

Dear sir

It is always recommended to add an antidepressant medications or proper vitamin supplements as diabetes is always associated with depression because of neuropathy.

Stress also cycles the chain of high and low blood sugars which will be difficult to treat the condition,

It is recommended to consult your psychiatric doctor and get an opinion regarding medication.

Duloxetine might help to fight insomnia and depression..

Thanks
