Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

In old age, best antidepressant is tianeptine. It also helps in maintaining mood as well as controlling anxiety symptoms. You can try this drug. It would not available without prescription, so better to consult your physician for that. You can also try some relaxation exercise that would keep you calm. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
