Hello,

You have symptoms of depression and anxiety, and since the last few weeks, the symptoms have become unbearable. The symptoms of fear about the future could be due to a hopeless feeling and need evaluation. You also have crying spells. For depression SSRIs like Sertraline, Paroxetine etcetera, SNRIs like Duloxetine, Venlafaxine etcetera care commonly used.

These medicines also help in reducing the symptoms of anxiety. For symptomatic relief medicines like low dose benzodiazepines like Clonazepam, Etizolam can help. Consult a psychiatrist for detailed prescription. Relaxation exercises like progressive muscle relaxation exercises, breathing exercises have good roles in reducing anxiety symptoms. Have diets rich in proteins and carbohydrates and low in fats.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
