Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Depression usually improves with proper dosing of antidepressant. She is on two antidepressant escitalopram 10mg and nortriptyline 25mg. Both drugs are at basic doses. Better to increase the dose of one antidepressant like escitalopram up to 20mg and then need to add another antidepressant like mirtazapine or venlafaxine. Rest you can consult a psychiatrist.
