Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

There is nothing harm in taking antidepressant like paroxetine or escitalopram. These drugs would help to control the stress level and underline anxiety. It would also help to control depressive symptoms that has been increasing due to work pressure. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. If you feel you need just therapy, you can consult a psychologist.

Thanks
