Hi,
I think, you have adjustment disorder. In that case, only antidepressants would not help you. Along with Lexapro, you can try lifestyle modification like morning or evening walk, try to spend time with a family member. Rest, you can discuss it with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
