Hello thanks for asking from HCM

You have symptoms like issues with body in every aspect, bad relationship with partner, poor sleep, inability to leave house, high level of depression, lack of comfort etc and these symptoms could occur due to depression or anxiety. These symptoms should not be ignored and should be dealt by a psychiatrist. In depressive and anxiety symptoms medicines like SSRIs are commonly used. Sertraline, Paroxetine, Fluoxetine etc are commonly used. Some times for sleep benzodiazepines can be used.

Apart from this cognitive therapy also have excellent efficacy in depressive symptoms. Visit a psychiatrist for help.

Thanks
