Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I would suggest you either escitalopram or paroxetine. You can choose either of them. Just consult your psychiatrist about these antidepressant and start taking one from basic minimum dose. That would help to control depressive and anxiety symptoms.

Thanks
