Hello thanks for asking from HCM

You have depression and anxiety since last 20 years. These disorders are chronic disorders and runs long course. Treatment also takes time to show its effect. Medicines like SSRIs are chiefly used for anxiety and depression. Medicines like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are advised to take for long periods to show their effects.

Along with conventional drug therapy behaviour therapy also have excellent roles. Behaviour therapy along with relaxation exercises, breathing exercises help to supplement the medicinal treatment.

THANKS, Hope this helps you
