What Are The Treatments For Severe Depression And Anxiety?

I am suffering severe depression and anxiety. I have all my life but when my children were small I had so much more courage and strengh. I do take celexa but I wish I could find something that would help me to stay motivated. The depression adds to anxiety because I can barely function, take care of myself or responsibilities. I have no motivation. I so want to be happy and productive! Thank you!

To treat depression with anxiety there are more effective antidepressants than citalopram,for example paroxetine or escitalopram.It is also advisable to prescribe a anxiolytic drug for example Lorazepam 1mg thrice a day.
In addition to the pharmacological treatment, can help you practice physical
exercise and therapy with a psychologist.With these recommendations you will feel better.Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.
