Hi

I understand your concern.

But there are lots of medicines and selection of it depends upon your illness nd symptoms.

What kind of symptoms do you have in depression and anxiety?

Now a days SSRI means selective seretonin reuptake inhibitor is a choice in depression and anxiety.

Besides medicines psychotherapy can help like cognitive therapy.

Best way is ask your consulting doctor for further assistance or get back with forum with all details.

Thank you.
