Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In your case, you need antidepressant like fluoxetine or paroxetine with cognitive behavioral therapy. These drugs are not available over the counter, so you need help of psychiatrist as well as psychologist. It would help to control these symptoms. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
