Hello Dear. Depression is common in this world. Simply taking medications will not help. You need to follow some other techniques also in life. If you go to a psychiatrist he/she may give you medications (eg- anxit, alprax, clonazepam) depending on your symptoms. Take the drugs as prescribed. Also follow the tips what i mention below.

Some of the tips to follow-

1. Socialize with people, family and friends
2. Develop some good hobbies- music, sports, reading books
3. Keep yourself busy. An idle mind is devils workshop.
4. Learn meditation techniques.
5. Take medications regularly as prescribed by your doctor
6. Follow this regularly for 21 days. It is said that anything you practice regularly for 21 days becomes a habit

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
