Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for writing in.

Please visit your psychiatrist at the earliest. Proper treatment of depression requires adequate evaluation, as well as trial of multiple therapeutic options, medicines being only a part of them. Even the medicines need to be used for a long duration and at an adequate dose to help relieve depression.

Hope this helps.
