Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, either you have bipolar depression or recurrent depressive disorder. In that case, you need proper dose of mood stabilizer and antidepressant. You are on mood stabilizer and psychotic, but there is no antidepressant in your prescription. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and in case, you need further help, you can ask.
