Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you have bipolar depression. In that case, you need mood stabilizer with antidepressant. Mood stabilizer would help to stop mood swing and antidepressant would help to come out of depression. In antidepressant, i would suggest paroxetine or bupropion due to less manic switch with them. You should consult your psychiatrist about proper treatment. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
