Suggest Treatment For Depression
I am too much emotional. I become too much nostalgic and in the process I cry and weep a lot. I am 61. I take prescribed drugs by a psychiatrist. Not of significant help. Recently I am too much depressed because I am away from my home and people. Please help.

Hello,
It is very good that you take your medications, you should not stop them if not suggested by your psychiatrist.
We all miss our family when we are far from them, that is why you should void staying at home, but try to fill your day with activities as much as you can. You can take a dog, they are a great company, and have a long walk, listening to good music.
If you feel no improvement, you should visit your psychiatrist.
Hope you find my answer helpful
