Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi.

I had gone through your query.

Sleep disturbance or insomnia is common in depression.

It is one of the main symptoms along with mood variability.

Depression can be treated with combination of medicines that improve depression, anxiety and insomnia.

Medicines like escitalopram/sertaline and peroxetine can help in depression.

Benzodiazapine group like etizolam/lorazepam/clonazepam etc will help in anxiety and insomnia.

But do take advise from psychiatrist before taking any medicines.

detail psychological work up will give better treatment.

So consult and get help.

I hope i have answered your query.

Feel free to ask.

Thank you.
