Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

Your symptoms are not improving even if you are taking medication. The reason behind it may be
- Inadequate dose of drug
- Poor compliance at your part regarding drug intake.
- Associated medical or psychiatric illness that may not be addressed.
- Resistant illness.

You should consult your psychiatrist for detailed evaluation. Doctor may rule out physical causes like thyroid dysfunction r cardiac pathology etc.
Treatment will be directed as per cause.

You may get benefit by anti depressant drugs like fluoxetine or peroxetine or sertraline. Doctor may advise to go for counselling or stress management.

Meanwhile you can do breathing exercise or yoga or mediation for better control over stress.

Thanks.
