Brief Answer:
antidepressant drug treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

You are having depression. This affecting your concentration and your morale. You are unable to take care of yourself and your kids.

In my opinion, your depression needs treatment with antidepressants.
Drugs like escitalopram or sertraline (prescription drugs) can help you.

Other than this, practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation. This will help you to keep yourself calm and stressfree.

Set the targets for your day and work accordingly to achieve them. Do not keep pondering over the issues.

Roam around with your kids, go for a hangout, watch movies, play with them.

Eat healthy foods including green vegetables and take adequate sleep.

But, drug treatment is very important at present.

Kindly consult your nearby psychiatrist and discuss this.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.

Take care.
Thanks.
