Sir, it is saddening to see that you need to take so many medicines. Ofcourse medicines shall help you to lift your mood, or calm your nerves, control your blood pressure, help you to sleep but along with it it is very essential or most important to reorganize your lifestyle. It shall be a great challenge but gradually with little baby steps you can achieve it. I will try to list out the things that you should focus and help you understand that depression and anxiety are by-products of our inability to cope with stress/bad experience/trauma/lack of social skills/low emotional quotient/past experiences/bad relationships it could be anything which a counseling psychologist shall be able to help you with. Hence do seek counseling along with medication. Gradually when you pick up the skills, understand yourself better you shall require lesser and lesser amount of medicines. Here are the few things that you should definitely do: 1. Eat healthy food: fibres, green veg, broccoli, carrots, beans, fresh fruits, nuts etc. Along with curd, paneer. Avoid fried/fast food, chips, cold drinks, alcohol 2. Do exercise or some rigorius physical activity daily-jogging, running, yoga, breathing exercises, general body moving exercises 3. Maintain a social life where you meet people talk with them, take interest in conversations social skill development helps in resolving interpersonal problems 4. Spend quality time with family and friends 5. Spend some time during the day in one activity of your interest-gardening, music, dance, painting, solving a puzzle, sudoku, anything that helps you to unwind and destress. 6. Pay attention to your thinking patterns, are they self-critical, or negative and unstoppable? All the above shall definitely help you in coming out of depression/anxiety and help you to calm and relax and confident. Wish you all the best!

Glad to hear your question on this open forum. We hope that you are keeping well, taking and tolerating the medications. Medications for depression do take time start working and depression usually gets better in 2-3 weeks from having started the medication. We recommend that you also consult a counselor or a psychotherapist who can help with social issues that have led to depression and treat you according to the symptoms with therapies like cbt i.e. Cognitive behavioral therapy. Exercise on a daily basis, taking meals at regular intervals and also having plenty of fluids during the day to keep you hydrated and active; are some other ways to overcome depression and anxiety and recover soon. Foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins b12 and d, folic acid, have also been found useful.
