Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

No doubt, you are in depression. In that case, carry on with the drugs, you are taking. Medicine takes time to show response. You can also carry on with CBT. It would help to control cognitive distortion. One thing, you can try i.e. life style modification. That would boost the effect of medications.

Thanks
