Psychiatrist, Dr. Abhishek Kapoor's Response

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Low mood, feeling of killing himself, anxiety symptoms are part of depression. In that case, you need antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine. These drugs are not easy available and you need prescription. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and in case, you need any psychotherapy, then your psychiatrist would refer you to a psychologist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
