Brief Answer:
Depressive symptoms are more severe in your case than anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your query and previous questions and I can understand your concerns.
As per your description it is clear that you are having severe depressive episodes rather than anxiety.
Proper psychiatric evaluation and treatment is required to bring you to normal life.
Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.
Early medical management in the form antidepressant group of drugs has to be started. Drugs like SSRI will be helpfu. However these are all prescription drugs and you have to consult a psychiatrist before starting a drug.
Wishing all the best

Dear Doctor, Thank you for your answer. I think most of the Doctors understood Social Anxiety instead of Severe Depression. Presently I am not going to any Doctor. Shall I go to the Docor, if so, what I tell him. Is Somantic Disorder and Depression (with moodswings) are same. Also Dr. for Depression I am taking Venlift OD 150 mg 3 to 4 capsules. But gives some respite. But from innercore I am not showing any interesting to anything. Through out day I want to sleep. Kindly prescribe any good medication for the time being to overcome severe depression. In the meantime, I will go to the Doctor. Kindly help me out please.

Dear Doctor, Thank you for your answer. Presently, I am not going to any Psychiatrist. Shall I go from today onwards so that I can take appointment. I think many of Doctors understood I am having more anxiety, panic attacks and less depression. Kindly tell me what to tell Doctor exactly what is the problem I am facing. Secondly, I do not go during this week for the time being, kindly suggest any good medicine to overcome this problem because Venlift OD 150 mg I am taking 4 capsules even though there is no respite. Kindly suggest any suitable medicine. Also tell me this Depression and Somantic are same. According to that kindly suggest any good medicines.

Given

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You can open up and tell your entire problems and feelings. In fact you don’t need to specify whether it is depression or anxiety.
Somatic disorder and depression are almost same.
You can consider SSRI thyroid like escitalopram after consulting a psychiatrist.
Psychiatric drugs are prescription drugs and you can not get them without a prescription.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
