Suggest Treatment For Severe Depression And Anxiety

I am 62 and I m on 10 mg of co-escitalopram daily, 7.5 mg of pms-Zopiclone and 1mg Lorazepam as needed at bedtime. I recently lost my Brother to suicide. I try to work out at the gym 3 times a week and eat well. I feel emotionally numb. I can t cry very much anymore and am never really happy. Not sure how to help myself from feeling exhausted. I have two baby Grandchildren that can make me feel happy and normal when they are around. Otherwise I like to barricade myself in my room. Help!
