Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have developed depressive symptoms post familial issues. These are not classical symptoms of depression but are due to adjustment disorder. For this you should seek help from a psychiatrist. Behavior therapy should be given to you in order to relax you. Drugs like SSRIs should be given for depressive symptoms.
Please visit a psychiatrist for help.
Thanks and Take care
