Brief Answer:
Dr XXXXXXX L.XXXin.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your concern.

Yes certainly you need intensive management for your ailments.

Your sleep pattern needs early correction through addition of Sedative anxiolytics like clonazepam 0.5 mg and escitalopram 5mg.

These drugs are effective in managing your depression and insomnia with minimal side effect profile.

CPAP has to be set at slightly higher point.
