Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your problem. The feelings like your parents are going to die and then depression can occur due to severe anticipatory anxiety or due to fear. A lot of individuals suffer such anxiety under stressful situations. If these symptoms are causing severe distress and depression then visit a psychiatrist for proper management of these symptoms. Medicines like SSRIs especially Sertraline, Escitalopram etc can help to reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety. These medicines will reduce these unwanted thoughts and you will feel better.

Apart from medicines try relaxation exercises especially progressive muscle relaxation exercises, breathing exercises, yoga to keep yourself relaxed. Combination of both relaxation exercises and medicines will help in early recovery. Please visit a psychiatrist for proper prescription of these medicines.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
